The Tilcon Interface Development Suite includes a powerful visual design tool (GUI and HMI Builder). Its unique architecture allows you to easily re-brand graphical user interfaces at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional code based GUI solutions. Build a rich embedded GUI, better, faster, more cost effectively.

Tilcon Interface Development Suite (IDS)
Tilcon IDS is a multi-platform user interface technology (GUI and HMI builder) that delivers robust, highly interactive user interfaces for real-time and embedded applications.

Tilcon IDS is an intuitive software tool that allows engineers to get up to speed quickly, enabling early proof of concept, prototyping and full development. Tilcon IDS enables engineers to develop complex graphics without resorting to many man hours of complex C++ code.

Tilcon Embedded Vector Engine (EVE)
The EVE is a scalable graphics kernel that manages all aspects of display and user interaction as a service to distributed API clients. The EVE works directly with the native RTOS (such as VxWorks) and core graphics library (such as WindML, Win32, Photon and upcoming OpenGL ES) and also takes full advantage of the hardware platforms (such as SH4, PPC, ARM, XScale and X86) to enhance speed and eliminate the tedium of writing low level graphical C/C++ code.

The key benefits of Tilcon IDS are the significant reduction in development time, a reduction in project risk, considerable development cost savings, more design freedom, a better product and a more sophisticated UI and Instrumentation. The Tilcon IDS is used in a broad range of industry sectors, Automotive, Defense, Medical Devices, Industrial devices and automation and Consumer devices.

Tilcon Interface Builder
The Tilcon interface builder allows engineers to simply drag and drop from an array of powerful GUI/HMI objects and provides straightforward property sheets to enable a customised appearance, behaviour, resources and actions. Engineers can also test their application without writing a single line of code.

Tilcon GUI and HMI Objects
The Tilcon IDS uses all standard GUI objects and includes an exceptional range of powerful HMI objects, some of which are the best meters in the industry .

Tilcon API
The Tilcon API enables engineers to easily connect to underlying data and enables fine tuning of the control of object behaviour. The API is easy to learn and easy to use and is both comprehensive and versatile. The Tilcon API also facilitates remote control and the ability to display across multiple platforms.

Overview of IData :
Quantum3D's IData is a tool-based Human Machine Interface (HMI) application development and deployment environment offering unmatched advanced features for creating powerful HMI applications that are portable to any target platform.  Through IData's innovative technology, application developers can create HMI applications for a number of applications.

IData's toolset provides a number of benefits to applications developers:

Reduced Lifecycle Costs IData offers integrated, powerful, Open Architecture model-based development, which meets certification requirements such as DO-178B for avionics.

Extreme Performance Whether using 3rd party or Quantum3D supplied OpenGL solutions, IData makes it easy on to meet performance requirements on all classes of embedded hardware.

Advanced Capabilities Through the addition of Quantum3D-supplied or 3rd party modules (such as digital mapping, 3D scene management, video handling, and turnkey reusable widget libraries) application developers gain access to advanced capabilities.

Reduced Obsolescence Obsolescence and portability risks are reduced by eliminating the representation of HMIs, graphics data, and behavioral logic as source code. Instead, IData offers a content-driven application development environment that concentrates on efficient content rendering pipelines (both accelerated via GPU and software based).
