Some of the newer features included with Cscape™ 8.50 and 8.52B are:
| Project Navigator The project navigator makes it easier than ever to develop
custom applications using Cscape™. The familiar Windows like explorer tree is both
intuitive and user friendly.
The icons in the tree allows users to skip between
the discreet application nodes while automatically opening whatever tool is appropriate
for that object or control so developers can rapidly jump from one location to another.
There are a variety of device based templates which
can be used as an application springboard and also sample code projects and tutorials. |
 |
Organizational Blocks Ladder logic
development takes a giant leap forward with the use of organizational blocks.
Users of our previous tools will immediately note
how the use of organizational blocks is a significant improvement. Now, it is far easier
to visualize the entire logic chain. This is accomplished by splitting long lines of logic
code into discreet chunks.
Organizational blocks make supporting and debugging
far simpler as the learning curve is considerably less. |
 |
Scheduler Blocks The use of
scheduling blocks allows developers to create any number of time based events which can be
used to do anything from generating end of week reports for senior management to complex
minute by minute processes making this an extremely useful feature both in terms of
functionality and for monitoring ongoing productivity.
The simple, easy to understand block based layout
makes it easy for users to understand other developer's code, thereby simplifying
maintenance and debugging. |
 |
Simplified Controller Configuration It's
easier to configure your particular OCS using Cscape's™ simplified Model Selection,
with OCS models grouped by family instead of a single list. Simply select the Horner
product you intend on using and Cscape™ will automatically pre-configure the base
application for you. |
