Press Release Summary = The creation of a convenient and intuitive user interface is
one of the primary tasks for application developers. User interface should be not
only functional but attractive, so that it could stick to the users' memory. Much
attention is paid to an application interface as it is a pure and simple work
environment surrounding people at work. That is why it should be positive and
nice-looking. Such user-friendly interface makes users distinguish your application
among competing ones. The creation of an effective user interfaces became even
easier with the release of the Instrumentation ModelKit 2.3.

Press Release Body = The Instrumentation ModelKit is a component providing a library
of ready-made gauges and a visual designer which allows the customization of gauges
as well as their creation from scratch. In your applications, you can use such
visual controls as meters, sliders, linear and circular scales, dials, indicators,
progress bars, odometers, tanks, levels as well as non-standard instruments:
horizon, scales, compass, clock, etc. All visual components can be easily customized
subject to developer and user requirements. It is possible to modify any gauge
element property: size, color, orientation, style, visibility, etc.

The well-designed architecture of the product provides an opportunity to use
multiple elements in a single gauge, for example, you can use multiple scales,
sliders, pointers, and any other gauge elements. The use of the Instrumentation
ModelKit considerably optimizes the development, as the product features automatic
layout management system which locates scale elements (ticks, numeric and text
labels) automatically subject to elements' size, position, and value. A new
UseRoundValues property in the Ticks and ScaleLabels elements allows the display of
round values on the scale in the most convenient manner.

The Instrumentation ModelKit grants a unique ability to design gauges from scratch.
So, you can develop non-standard and functionally-unique instruments addressing the
needs of specific industries: from aerospace to hydropower. No special designer or
programmer skills are required, as a gauge is created visually in the designer. Just
a few mouse clicks -and a new instrument is created and can be integrated into your
application.

Created gauges can be used for data output as well as data input. So, users can
tweak switches, move pointers and slides, etc. You can set intelligent behavior of
the gauge controls. For example, you can make them react to alarming data, raising
or decreasing events or visually display alerts if the incoming data exceeds
predefined ranges.

You can move data from and to PLCs, DCSs, and other control devices. Virtually any
hardware device supporting the OPC DA standard may be monitored and managed in your
applications by using the DataChannel component which allows you to incorporate your
real-time data channels with the OPC industry standard.

The product is a 100% C# component, and it is fully compatible with the .NET
Framework 1.1 / 2.0. The Instrumentation ModelKit is easily integrated in Microsoft
Visual Studio.Net and other IDEs supporting .NET. Run time of the component is
royalty-free.

The Instrumentation ModelKit is a part of the .NET Dashboard Suite that features the
DashBoardViewer component allowing the simultaneous use of gauges and charts. The
suite is designed for the fast creation of digital dashboards and KPI.

Use the power of the Instrumentation ModelKit to design unique and feature-rich user
interfaces which will distinguish your application in a strong competition!
