Home Register Login Support       PAD - PIXY Application Designer   Welcome to PAD - the graphical tool from PIXY AG for application development.     The long-term trend in the application programming of visualization systems is to move away from classical programming languages and towards graphics programming. Displays are programmed on a drag and drop basis in a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) manner. The PIXY Application Designer (PAD) is the PC application for programming Screenboards® quickly and easily. With the aid of PAD, prepared display elements can be shown on the PC and linked to field-bus signals. The application is then uploaded to the Screenboard® and started immediately. Components such as bar graphs, dynamic and static text, as well as icons can be configured with minimal effort. PAD boasts the key advantages of huge savings in terms of time and costs. Time and costs can be reduced substantially with the aid of graphics programming. The latest version of PAD offers the following features (depending on the Screenboard®):     Graphical Components Bar graphs, static and dynamic texts, date and time, numeric input fields, icons, tachometers and number fields     Fieldbus Support for CAN Layer 2, CANopen and MVB     Event/action editor Links elements to field-bus signals, defines processing of keystroke entries     Diagnosis Persistent storage for diagnosis data.
