FacePlate

With FacePlate you will be able to create compelling simulation graphics in minutes. With a minimum of steps, you will assemble your design from libraries of high fidelity, photo realistic virtual components such as buttons, sliders, meters, gauges and dials. You can even use sophisticated monitoring displays such as strip charts, LED bar graphs and dynamic text I/O objects.

• Integrates seamlessly with leading system simulation and modeling tools
• Includes hundreds of high quality, full featured pre-built components
• Compatible with the award winning Altia Design custom component editor and prototyping environment

Once you have created a working prototype of your product or process, you can use Altia’s pre-built point and click Connection Packages to connect to the simulation tool of your choice. Need to switch simulation tools during the design process? No problem, FacePlate connects to all popular simulation tools, just move your graphics across and reconnect. Need to connect to code? Altia’s Code Connection has a well documented API that will have you up and running in minutes. In a multi-platform environment? FacePlate is not only supported on Windows, but on UNIX as well. Design file formats are cross platform compatible.
