Catapult is proud to announce the release of MENU for iFIX, a complete navigation system add-on for the Proficy iFIX® control system from GE FanucOctober 19, 2006 - Navigation using MENU is immediately intuitive, with familiar functions like Back, Forward, Favorites and Home as standard. Users can add navigation links to standard iFIX functions like Workspace configure, Database Manager and Mission Control. They can also include standard iFIX operations, for example alarm horn on/off, open picture and print picture. Menus can even be configured to start VBA scripts. On top of all of these functions, users can build in navigation to any iFIX pictures in their system. Menu layout is completely flexible, providing an unlimited multi-tiered menu structure. MENU even provides automatic picture inclusion, so new pictures can be immediately and automatically added into just the right place in a menu.Well structured menus reduce the dependence on training. Multi-tiered pull-down menus save picture space, leaving valuable room for larger, less cluttered plant displays. Menus are user-configurable without requiring any VBA programming. MENU removes the cost of developing and maintaining custom navigation buttons. iFIX users can add menus to their existing or new iFIX systems, utilizing text and/or icon labels, picking icons from the library included, or adding their own.MENU is an ActiveX control, dropped into any iFIX picture in Workspace configure mode. MENU is developed in C++ using Microsoft Visual Studio.Net. It is available for all GE Proficy iFIX versions 3.5 and later. MENU can be purchased directly from Catapult Software or from any Catapult/GE Fanuc Reps around the globe.
