Floorplan Zone Overlays - DGLux Enhanced Workflow
In striving to reduce engineering time, we are constantly working on improving workflows. One example of these improved workflows is how zone overlays are created on floor plans. The video below will demonstrate how you can very quickly create zones that are pre-linked to relevant points. All of this, done using the standard SCADA system functionality. (The video example is based on Niagara while using BQL, but the same workflow is achieved using other SCADA systems native query language).
Flash Support on Windows 8 and RT
A few weeks ago, it was revealed that Microsoft would bundle support for Adobe Flash Player in Windows 8 and also support it in the Metro version of Internet Explorer 10. It was later revealed that Microsoft and Adobe worked together to offer Flash support for Windows 8, despite the fact that Microsoft previously proclaimed that support for plug-in web programs would not be a part of the Metro version of IE 10. This news means that DGLux is now fully enabled and supported in Windows 8 Metro Mode and on Windows RT tablets.
Self-Building Graphics with Auto-Built Templates
One of the biggest challenges for contractors in our industry is in decreasing engineering time. More and more, we are seeing the need for automating the automation industry. With DGLux, you have the ability for the graphics to create themselves based on the points that are available in the system. A concept that we call "Auto-Built" is essentially templates created utilizing standard DGLux functionality that look at the available points in the system and configure themselves to display the appropriate representations of the equipment. With Auto-Built templates, you can have 90% of your graphic creation already done as soon as you install DGLux. Take a look at the video below for a demonstration of an Auto-Built template in action.

Property-To-Property Binding Tutorial
Adjusting one property of an object using a property of another object is just one of the ways DGLux is more flexible and allows users to create unique, personalized experiences unlike any other visualization provider. Just like binding data to dynamically adjust properties, DGLux enables binding any component property to any other components property. In this tutorial, you will see how you can control the rotation and color display of a globe through the use of a slider or create a slider to control temperature setpoints.
Ever wish that you could deploy dashboards for mobile devices with the "pinch" gesture to zoom in or zoom out built in? Now with the DGLux Mobile Zoom Template, you can easily create this type of user interaction with ease! In this tutorial, we show you how this can be achieved using a fit ratio container which increases or decreases the width and height of your dashboard based on the area clicked. Try out DGLux today and deploy visually stunning applications which operate on web, desktop, and mobile without ever having to write a single line of code. App Yourself!
Zone Temperature Overlays Tutorial
In this tutorial you will see how to create the gradient overlays that are commonly seen to represent zone temperatures on top of a floor plan. This exact same functionality can easily be applied for occupancy or lighting as well with the use of different set points. By watching this quick demo, you will learn how to import an image that could be your floor plan, use DGLux drawing tools to create your zone overlays and link the shapes to real time data from your station tree with a gradient map and a nuemeric map.
