Development environment PROMOTIC
The development environment is used to create PROMOTIC application.
The development environment is a program in the PROMOTIC system that is located:
The whole development environment is optimized for mouse control, but it can also be controlled by the keyboard.
The development environment consists of multiple editors:
Other editors
The development environment contains multiple additional editors and tools. These are for example:
- and many others
History:
Pm9.00.26:
The option to select multiple objects at the same level in the tree of
Pma objects and of
Pmg objects.
The selected operation (e.g. Cut, Copy, Remove, etc.) is then executed over all selected objects.
Pm9.00.25:
- The option to move the application tab to a new window in order to split the development environment into multiple separate windows.
Pm9.00.11: The option to edit multiple
Pma objects simultaneously by means of tabs of the application in the window title bar of the development environment.
Pm8.03.00:
- In the object configuration window, there is an object path indicated on the up. Clicking this path can be used to navigate to any other object. This way it is possible to switch between object easily.
- Editing by keyboard (without mouse) is now supported: After pressing the Alt key shows the shortcut letters for each configurator and after pressing the letter the focus is moved to the selected configurator. The concept of such letter is hiearachic, i.e. some letter may represent a set of configurators and after pressing such letter another letters are indicated for sub-configurators. This way it is possible to move around quickly while designing an application.
- The "
Object accessible via variable" configurator is now considered obsolete and therefore it is hidden in new apps and in applications that did not use it.
Pm8.02.00: Development environment PROMOTIC now remebers (in the
Promotic.ini file) 10 last edited projects.
If you run the
Promotic.exe program, then the last edited projects will be listed at launch for selection.
This is the editor of tree structure of application objects (so-called the Pma objects), their settings, definition of algorithms, etc.
This editor is used to create the graphics (Pmg objects) of the PmaPanel object. This is a WYSIWYG editor of Pmg objects that creates the application panels (SCADA application GUI).
