Higher Engineering Productivity with InTouch 2014

More of the features coming with InTouch 2014!

Animation Capabilities: InTouch 2014 includes the ability to animate many of the Graphics and Element Styles. Graphic animations are directly linked to real-time data values to dynamically reshape the multi-point Graphic elements as data changes. This animation capability automates high level geometric mathematical formulas to enable engineers to create animated Pie Charts, Polar Stars, Polylines, Curves, Polygons, and Closed Curves that visually reshape in real-time. 

Direct, indirect, and associated relationships of multiple data points can be visually represented in a graphic to enable operators to clearly understand when a process is within acceptable boundaries or which part of the process is out of alignment or possibly moving out of alignment. This animation transforms mere static graphics into contextually rich moving pictures to make them even more effective. 

  • Supports a number of built-in animations, including Points Animation (polygons, rectangles, polarstar), Element Styles Animation, Start / Sweep Angle Animation of Arc, Chord and Pie graphic elements.
  • Enables the implementation of Element Styles standards in Situational Awareness Library and other symbols 
Content-aware Script Editor: A comprehensive new “Auto-Complete” behavior in the Script Editor anticipates the engineer’s next move and provides intelligent choices that match the likely intent. InTouch 2014 consolidates all scripting work within one development environment and helps shortenscript engineering time by 40%.

Some of the new features are as follows:
  • Auto-complete in Script Editors and Graphic Editor Expressions
  • Line-numbers, Multi-level undo, automatic syntax checking
  • Multi level Undo-Redo
  • Line Numbering
  • Consistent color coding
  • Syntax error indication
Quick Script Exception Handling: InTouch 2014 enables rapid trouble shooting and debugging of scripts using powerful exception handling. It comes with new Logging functions for error, warning, and trace to simplify the process of debugging scripts.

XML Import or Export Capability: Expanding further upon Invensys’ Open Format philosophy, InTouch 2014 now permits publishing of graphic elements in an open format schema to support the programmatic import and export of graphic elements and most animations with advanced editors.
