E-ZView Key Features
Dazzling Graphics & 256 Colors
Though extremely easy to configure, these touch panels are much more than push-button & pilot-light replacements. These panels provide high-end panel components & compelling real-life graphics that you would normally expect only on an expensive PC-based software HMI. Additionally, with 128 colors, blinking abilities, and extensive bitmap support, the unit offers dazzling graphics that would please any discerning user. The E-ZView panels, particularly TFT, have the widest viewing angle for great visibility from all corners.
Pre-Built Panel Components
In addition to pushbuttons, indicator lights, numeric entry and displays, the EZView offers panel components such as Analog Meters, PID Faceplates, Bar Graphs, Trend Graphs, Alarms, Recipes, Radio Buttons, Thumbwheels, a variety of Switches, and a rich library of Bitmaps. Also, the user can select from a palette of 128 rich colors for all these components. Each color can be selected to blink in order to create components that will grab the operator’s attention.
 Multiple Languages
With E-ZView’s multiple language capabilites including Unicode for
Chinese characters, you can now program the text for Panel components in up to 9-different languages. This means English reading operators can work with the panel in English, while the Spanish proficient operators can work in the Spanish language on the same panel. Also, with up to 9 different languages, OEMs exporting to other countries can develop programs to cover many of the commonly used languages.
 Multi-state Indicator & Bitmap Buttons
The multi-state indicators allow you to visualize process conditions, such as three states of a traffic light. E-ZView also offers Bitmap-based multi-state indicators, where you can use up to 256 bitmaps to indicate 256 different conditions. The bitmaps allow you to design very intuitive screens.
 Resize Bitmaps within Editor
Resize Bitmaps within Editor E-ZView uses vector-based designs for the panel components & imported bitmaps. This allows the user to scale an object without limits. There is no distortion! This saves you from having to go to photo editing software to scale the bitmaps.
In addition to distortion-free scaling, the vector based designs use E-ZView memory very efficiently, allowing almost 500 screens of reasonable complexity to fit within 512 KB of memory.
Programming over Ethernet
With our optional Ethernet module, you can program the E-ZViews over Ethernet running standard TCP/IP protocol. You can even do the online programming over Ethernet, allowing you to make modificications to installed
E-ZViews from the convenience of office (which may be half way across the world).
 Import/Export to Excel
E-ZView allows you to export data from several objects to a PC network. You can export data from Trend Graph, FIFO Tables and Alarm History. You can also import tag and message data from an Excel Spreadsheet to the panel.
Data Acquisition
The E-ZView is the only product in its class that offers Data Acquisition and SPC capabilities. Data can be acquired periodically, or based on an event. The acquired data is stored in a FIFO (First-in-first-out) buffer of user programmed length. The data so acquired can be used for SPC & be read over a serial or Ethernet port.
 Machine Diagnostics
With its extensive graphics, multi-state bitmaps, alarming & messaging capabilities, E-ZView provides graphical machine diagnostics to quickly trouble-shoot the operation of machine/process.
Visibility Tags
Every object in the E-ZView is equipped with a patent-pending visibility control variable. This feature allows the E-ZView to conserve precious display area. The same display space can be used for multiple purposes under the control of the Embedded controller.
Automatic Data Collection Utility
E-ZView offers a utility to collect data from the panel. The utility that runs on a PC can collect data using Panels programming port.

 Line Graph
E-ZView offers you a powerful trend or line graph feature. One trend graph object can track up to 6 variables. You can have any number of such objects in your program. Readings are time or event-based, and are taken even if the graph is not on a currently displayed screen. In addition, the graphs allow you to scroll back & forth; moreover, the graph points can be read back by a PC, and exported to Excel spreadsheets.
 Statistical Process Control (SPC)
E-ZView can perform a variety of Statistical computations on the data stored in the FIFO, which is useful for SPC (Statistical Process Control). The E-ZView performs and displays the following computations:
· Mean or X-bar · Range · Mode
· Median · Min-Max · Cpk
 Math-logic/Expressions/
Multi-function
Buttons, Overlapping Objects
In addition to allowing the overlapping of touch objects, E-ZView offers a sophisticated control, called the Multi-function button. As the name implies, this button allows you to perform multiple functions, including Mathematical and Logical operations, with the touch of one button. For example, you can set/reset multiple bits & transfer constants or variables or expressions to tags. Remarkably, this benefit allows a user to perform up to 20 operations with one button (and several buttons can be overlapped). The E-ZView’s GUI provides for the use of a scripting language also called Expressions. This gives the programmer extreme flexibility in displaying text, alphanumeric data, and bitmaps.
Alarms and Alarm History
E-ZViews offer a sophisticated Alarm system. It allows you to monitor events (bits), and values (registers). The values can be monitored for a variety of
conditions (=, >, <, in/out of range). The alarms can be selectively displayed, printed and/or logged. Alarm history can be stored inside the E-ZView as well as exported to Excel.
 Flash Card & Flash-Firmware
E-ZView uses flash memory for it’s firmware. This allows you to quickly upgrade the firmware in the field. You do not have to un-install the units, or send it to factory for any firmware upgrade.
In addition, E-ZView supports an optional flashbased plug-in module. This module can be used to back up the user program and provide program portability. For example, OEMs can use the convenience of the plug-in module to distribute upgraded versions of their programs to customers, and end-users can modify or upgrade programs without having to use computers.
Monitor Tags
The E-ZView editor allows you to monitor tag values. You can read as well as write to tags in the Embedded controller. This allows you to use E-ZView editor to monitor controller variables for diagnostic purpose (or any other purpose) without launching Dynamic C.
Cut, Copy & Paste, Pick and Apply Attributes
E-ZView Editor allows any objects or a group of objects to be cut, copied and pasted freely. In addition, users can pick the style of one object and apply that to other similiar objects; for example if you have 20 push buttons on a screen, and you would like to change the text sizes and colors of all the push buttons to a different value, you can do so with a single click.
