Visualizing a Single Point in Canvas

June 15, 2020 / 0 comments / in Canvas  / by Walter Goodwater

I was recently asked to give a presentation on Canvas to showcase its power as an HMI authoring platform to potential customers. I’ve given lots of presentations on Canvas over the years, usually highlighting new and exciting features with each release. Just talking about new 9.4 features took me over an hour at WESC, and three separate blog posts here; for this presentation, I had about 15 minutes. So instead of trying to talk too fast or cram too much in, I decided to take my audience on a journey.

It starts with a single point value, and a text tool.

What's New in Canvas 9.4, Part 3

April 2, 2020 / 0 comments / in Canvas  / by Walter Goodwater

We’ve been reviewing some of the new Canvas features in the 9.4 release. We’ve covered navigation and high performance HMI. Today I want to talk about alarms, how to know when they’ve happened, and how to take action.

What's New in Canvas 9.4, Part 2

March 31, 2020 / 0 comments / in Canvas  / by Walter Goodwater

As I mentioned in my previous article, there are just so many new features in Canvas for 9.4 that we couldn’t fit it all in one post. Last time we talked about some of the new navigation features; today I want to talk about high performance HMI.

“High Performance” has been a bit of a buzzword for HMI design for a while now, and can mean different things to different people. In general, the goal of a high performance HMI is to prioritize actionable information over raw data. We want to remove visual distractions, limit points of confusion, and empower end users to take informed action. These principles have been part of Canvas’ design from the beginning, and we’ve added even more features in 9.4.

What's New in Canvas 9.4, Part 1

March 26, 2020 / 0 comments / in Canvas  Product Release  / by Walter Goodwater

We’re all very happy to have CygNet 9.4 out in the world. The CygNet development and product management team worked hard to ensure this release would provide significant value for our customers. Hopefully you can see the results of that work in the massive 9.4 release notes.

As the lead developer for Canvas, I want to spend some time highlighting some of the many new HMI features in 9.4. This release represents the biggest investment we’ve done in our new HMI since it came out a few years ago. Frankly there are just too many new features to meaningfully cover in a single post, so I am going to break it up and do a series on some of the awesome new things in Canvas.

Today I want to talk about navigation. Navigation is a big theme for Canvas 9.4. As people start building out new systems in Canvas, we wanted to expand options for end users to move around quickly and efficiently.

Better Comm. Diagnostics Through Visualization

February 19, 2019 / 0 comments / in Canvas  General  / by Walter Goodwater

It is not always easy to know when something is wrong with your comms. There are many different points of failure and it can be hard to know where to start looking when an issue is suspected. Even when you have all the data in front of you, it can be a hassle to find the signal in the noise.
