Operator interface development for control software

A code generator and library that provide rapid prototyping for control system operator interfaces are described. There two tools help programmers develop windowing programs with no more effort than would have been needed for writing a conventional C program. A major subset of standard windowing functionality is provided. Real-time operation is achieved by using a character-based windowing package running with real-time software, all on top of MS/PCDOS. Portability of the operator interface across popular platforms is achieved through the use of XVT, a portable windows development toolkit.<
