Structural differences between menu display and visualisation
In order to keep up with future requirements for control devices, a new concept was developed in this Version 2 of the HS/FS.

1.Design concept:

It is common practice for the user to use different control devices simultaneously in an automated object (house, company building, etc.):
PDA, WebPad, TV, touchscreen, mobile phone, PC, ...
These devices have different power capabilities.

It is now possible to create an individual profile for every device in HS/FS Expert.
Several designs are included in delivery.

The following features are stored in a design:
  • Design for user interface
  • Screen surface
  • Number of operating lines in the menu display
  • Full-screen visualisation
  • Suitable collection of visualisation symbols
  • html capability
  • WAP capability
  • Timeout time
  • Automatic image refresh rate (Refresh) for lists, query, visualisation, camera side, masks and graph
  • Camera image as stream
  • Font types
  • Local storage of graphic files

2.User interfaces

At present, there are 3 ways of operating the HS/FS:
  • Internet browser with html 4 capability, CSS and Javascript
  • Client program (hsclient.exe)
  • WAP browser for WAP 1.1

3.Structural differences between menu display and visualisation

The menu display and the visualisation differ fundamentally from one another.
The hierarchical structure of the menu can be used on several designs simultaneously, whereas no hierarchical design exists in the visualisation. Every visualisation page can call up any other visualisation page.
Each design requires a separate visualisation.
Because the control devices have different screen resolutions, it is necessary to define a different design for every device.
