Milano, 4 aprile 2000 - Computerboards, Inc. Introduced Softwire, a technological breakthrough in programming software. Softwire is thè fìrst and oniy complete graphical programming package that provides an easy way to combine the speed and ease-of-use of graphical programming with thè flexibility and efficiency of writing code in an industry-standard language. Until now, programmers had to use either syntactical or graphical programming; it was very difficult to use both far thè same program. Now the benefits of both programming approaches are available to speed thè creation of powerful programs. In making the announcement Ben Bailey, Chairman of Computerboards said, "Non-programmers can create powerful applications without learning to write code, and experienced programmers will realize dramatic savings in time and money by taking advantage of thè speed of graphical programming. " He also noted, "Softwire incorporates breakthrough technology for which several patents are pending. " Program development Ìs simple and straightforward with Softwire. Thè functions desired are selected from a simple menu; thè objects are placed on thè screen where they are desired, and then connected with a few simple drag-and-drop wires. Thè program is then ready to run. Ed Evansen. President of Computerboards noted, "Uniike other graphical programmmg languages. Softwire is designed to run in standard environments such as Visual Basic, thè worid´s most popular applicadon development language. This gives programmers thè power and flexibility of syntactical programming combined with thè case and simplicity of graphical^ programming. If there´s a graphical fùnction needed thafs not provided, or an I/o board or instrument that´s not supported, there´s no problem for users of Softwire. Since thè user is aiready in thè Visual Basic environment. He or she can write a Visual Basic routine and they*re ready to go. " Softwire supports Computerboards´ complete line of measurement, control and Gpib interfaces. Èasy-to-use and powerfui Daq control blocks support thè complete range of functions users will require. While some graphical . Programming languages force users to program at extremely low leveis, Softwire controis are highiy integrated; cach control provides a great deal of fùnctionality. This eliminates thè need to leam hundreds of low-levei blocks. Ali Softwire contro! blocks are fùliy Com/activex compatible and are easily interfaced tó Visual Basic programs. Thè key advantage of Softwire´s Com/activex implementation is that ali control block parameters may be set via • program control or with easy-to-use property page menus. Some graphical programming languages torce users to hard code cvcry block parameter with another ìcon or control block. In Softwire, thè progranuner right clicks on any objcct and configures its operating parameters in its easy-to-understand property page. Softwire Graphical Programming for Visual Basic is priced at $495. 00, U. S. List, with delivery from stock. Computerboards, Ine. Designs, manufactures and markets a fùli line ofcomputer-based test and measurement hardware and software. These products include analog and digitai I/o boards, Serial and Gpib interfaces for thè Pci, Isa, cPci. Pcmcia and Pc104 buses, as well as Rs-232/485 serial interfaces. Computerboards also provides an extensive line of signal conditioning products and a family ofiow-cost, rugged data loggers. Thè Company is privately owned, has more than 80 employees and markets its products through direct sales, a woridwide distributor organization and on thè woridwide web. Infolink: www. Microsystems.
