Breakthrough Visualization CapabilitiesInTouch software empowers you to quicklyand easily develop custom graphical views ofyour real-time industrial processes.

InTouch software provides a comprehensiverange of graphics primitives from whichgraphical symbols may be created, includingarcs, chords, pies, curves and MicrosoftWindows® common controls, as well as the ability to create complex shapes bycombining simpler shapes together.

Advanced graphic attribute manipulationenables extremely powerful and precisecontrol, via built-in animation or scripting ofan incredible range of graphic attributesincluding transparency, smooth shading, fillstyle, line style, orientation, size, position andvisibility enabling engineers to exercise theirimagination and creativity to representautomation environments with style, utilityand efficiency.

InTouch software comes equipped with an extensible ArchestrA symbol librarycontaining over 500 professionally designedArchestrA graphic symbols, most withcustomizable ‘intelligence’ alreadyincorporated, giving you drag-and-dropaccess to pre-built engineering components.

Library symbols may be used out-of-the-box or customized as needed.You may add your own new ormodified symbols, or you may create yourown special libraries of symbols to suit yourengineering and development requirements.

Ready-to-use Symbol Library


Consistent built-in primitives for qualityprovide quality information for acquireddata in a consistent form making itextremely easy to view and act uponchanges in data quality.

The InTouch graphics environment offersincredible power and choice to use or mixtogether vector graphics, bitmap graphics,library symbols, .NET controls and legacyActiveX controls.

ArchestrA symbols directly supportembedded .NET controls, giving you the freedom for unrestricted applicationextensibility without programming. Theyalso offer access to standard controls suchas Web browsers, desktop applications,mapping tools, ERP components and anyother application which provides .NETcompliant controls.
