Monitor
and react.
A survey of a microCommander application
Capture
Input
The Analog Input Agent, or AnaIn, Component, is just one of
the many Components that are included in microCommander's
standard Component library. A ubiquitous Component that can
be attached to your microcontroller's analog-to-digital port,
the Analog Input can be combined with Converter and Analog
Operator Components and with Visual Controls to capture and
monitor any type of analog sensor input you need
Plan
and Respond
A Job is an action taken by a Component. When a Component
does a Job it performs an action that you tell it to do.
You can
use an Event Component to trigger a Job. The Event Component
can be configured to respond to conditions you specify. When
those conditions are met, the Job is done: your Component
takes action.
This simple,
intuitive mechanism is all you need to build powerful, robust
applications. But that's not all that microCommander offers...
You can
also create lists of Jobs that can be done sequentially or
as a batch.
Timing
is often critical in embedded applications. You can schedule
Jobs to occur at a designated times or to execute repeatedly
at a specified intervals.
microCommander
offers near real-time response with up to 1/64 of a second
accuracy. For less critical tasks, Jobs can be scheduled to
occur within seconds, minutes, hours or even days.
All of
this can be done using microCommander's simple drag-and-drop,
fill-in-the-blank interface. Continue...
