In addition to the advanced features described earlier, the E-ZView has a unique “On-Line Programming” feature not found in any other similar product in the market. This patented unique feature greatly reduces project development time to further reduce time to market.

Typically, when developing a project, even if a small change is made to the program, a lot of time is wasted in swapping out cables, power- cycling, compilation of new code, and downloading the changed project to the operator interface panel. In addition while all this is going on, the machine and the control system is not operational.

The online feature of E-ZView eliminates all this hassle. Just like Dynamic C, debugging the Graphical User Interface (GUI) can occur while the application is running on the target Embedded controller.

Continuing with the example of the Temperature Meter and Line Graph, suppose you needed to monitor two temperatures instead of just one. After making the necessary changes in your Dynamic C project, you can easily add (as shown below) a second meter and line graph without ever having to shutdown the controller application.
