IData® Tool Suite is a complete toolset with a number of major components:

• The floating HSL Generator supports the IData® Designer seats. Only one HSL generator is needed for each Designer cluster. HSL data from this generator is used by the IData® Run Time engines.
• IData® Designer is the more cost-effective HMI tool.
• IDataMap is an add-on module for IData® that offers compelling, high performance 2D/3D digital map displays and geospatial visualization capabilities based on industry standard data formats.
• IData3D is a high-performance, real-time 3D scene management library module for IData that renders 3D data content from industry standard tools on desktop and embedded platforms.
• IData® Run Time provides the means to deploy IData® applications on the target system of your choice, including any RTOS, any OpenGL® subset, or any compute platform.

Applications

Aerospace, Defense Industries, and DO-178B

IData® is ideally suited for digital and analog instrumentation, flat panel display symbology, HUDs, interactive virtual consoles, digital map displays, and embedded training. The powerful development environment increases fidelity and dramatically shortens development time for embedded cockpit displays, flight simulators, and aircraft trainers.

Command-and-Control

C4ISR systems, whether for situational awareness or unmanned vehicle control, require powerful digital maps, 3D terrain, standard symbology sets, flexible symbology overlay, video handling and powerful user interaction. IData® offers developers comprehensive built-in capabilities to create tomorrow’s C4ISR systems.

Industrial Automation

Whether on a shop floor or in a factory or distribution center, automation and monitoring of processes are important to a successful and efficient working environment. IData® provides the tools to easily model the monitoring devices of your system and test new designs and processes before they are implemented. Employing touch controlled displays, interactive graphics, flexible data inputs, single screen or networked display systems, and portability to low cost platforms, IData® will rapidly make your system’s interface come alive.

Transportation Industry

IData® is well suited for rapid prototyping of display concepts, providing an easy to use method for development, testing, and assessment of new systems very early in the development cycle. This cost-effective testing and comparison of many design variants allow new options to be explored with minimal impact on overall design schedules and budgets. IData’s support for small footprint, embedded OpenGL® variants make it an ideal choice for in-vehicle systems deployment.

Medical Equipment Industry

IData® allows users to rapidly create realistic realtime displays for medical equipment with support for displaying video imagery, digital texture zoom, soft control panels, touch screen support, and intuitive device integration sets the standard for a new level of medical HMI development. Controls and displays for complex medical equipment are easily designed and tested with IData®.

Features and Benefits

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)
