The VTScada Idea Studio
Instantly Intuitive Graphic Development
The new VTScada Idea Studio™ is a familiar ribbon-
based interface that helps you get started in creating
high-impact displays in minutes. Drag-and-drop a wide
variety of tag animations, meters, buttons, switches,
symbols and images. Draw 3D pipes with just a few
clicks. New selection and alignment tools make it easy to
keep your displays looking sharp and professional.
Get Started In Just Minutes
Familiar ribbon interface - The context-sensitive toolbar can be
completely customized to put elements right where you want them.
Develop tags the way you want - If you like to lay out graphics first
and create tags later, you can. If you'd rather start with tags, you can
do that too. Search and replace any tag referenced by a page.
Over 200 New Graphic ‘Widgets’ - It's a snap to represent your system
values as photorealistic meters, switches, buttons, and animations.
Extensive Graphic Library - Includes over 4,500 industry-specific
images, symbols, polygons, and data-driven animations. Import BMP,
JPG, WMF, and EMF formats by dragging them from your desktop.
Photo Realistic Background Tiles - Create a consistent look and divide
pages into areas of interest. Drag on and resize over 100 patterns.
Lighting Overlay Tiles - Add depth to your pages and help direct the
focus of operators.
Style Settings Tags - Create consistent display conventions for groups
of Widgets (e.g., red for "off" and green for "on"; or vice-versa).
Automatic Alignment - Snap points effortlessly align and space your
graphic elements so you don't have to.
Simple Pipe Drawing - Draw striking 3D pipes with just a few points and
clicks. Animate pipe color based on calculations or tag values.
True Color SCADA - To help create vibrant looking displays and reports, VTScada now supports 24-bit/32-bit ‘true color’. Use the color
selector to pick from more than 16 million colors. Script functions also support true color graphics.
Real-Time Configuration - Create, edit, and validate displays with real data without switching to a separate development application.
When satisfied, push applied changes to all networked servers without system interruption.
Build Once, View Anywhere - Zoom in while editing. Build displays for multiple monitor resolutions. Displays can be full-screen or pop-
up windows. Configure dual or quad monitors on compatible computers. The VTScada Mobile Internet Client also displays full graphics.
