The multi-platform support and powerful graphical development editor have been the keys to DataViews ongoing success.This new DataViews release on the Intel Solaris x86 architecture offers our customers an affordable and viable Windows/Linux alternative for the in-house development of their dynamic application interfaces. Using the toolkit’s open API, developers can effectively and efficiently create complex, high performance, customized interfaces for their control and visualization applications. “The Solaris 10 operating system and other UNIX variants are becoming more and more popular because of their enhanced security,” said Mark Pipher, Product General Manager for HMI/SCADA products for GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms.
“This product saves time and money so IT managers can focus on programming core applications.” “There are many benefits associated with DataViews,” continued Pipher. “It saves programmers significant development time, and it allows graphical objects to be developed and imported quickly and easily rather than having to develop them in code. It fits seamlessly in the application being developed and leverages industry standard solutions to save data connectivity development time.” “DataViews is a leading custom visualization software package in the industry.
Solaris x86 users can now get the power of DataViews for their development needs,” said Pipher.
