Fusion Editor’s “Super Sets”

Candera Studio’s Fusion Editor now includes a new feature called Super Sets. Users can easily merge complex logic into easy-to-use templates, share and re-use Super Sets within and across projects, and tailor the interface of Super Sets for high usability.

In short: combine custom Fusion diagrams in re-usable templates for simplified use. Once you have created one set of logic, it becomes much more efficient to re-use it for similar applications. For more, watch the Fusion Super Sets film.

A free trial version is now available.

State Machine Improvements

Candera Studio’s improved State Machine lets users design their screen transition specifications with flexible use of images, such as screenshots or snapshots, as well as annotations and individual coloring solutions.

Another step towards making the tool even more intuitive to work with: better integration of key-shortcuts or support for zoom levels.

Increased Rendering Performance

For Candera Studio’s Feature Pack 2, render performance has been optimized by smart render state caching to accelerate render performance. Users benefit from optimized render stability in conjunction with rendering of vector graphics

Advanced Data Source Editor

Candera Studio’s Data Source Editor now supports a broad set of complex data types: Vector 2, Vector 3, Vector 4, Colour, Asynchronous List, and Rectangle. Additionally, support for global data items has been added to easily share data between multiple scenes

Monotype Font Engine

The professional Monotype font engine is fully integrated in Candera Studio and used to render fonts. Supporting shaping, the optimized 2D Basic Sample showcases high-quality Monotype fonts for a wide variety of use cases. Beyond improving visual appearance, the right choice of fonts can ensure safety requirements for HMIs in critical applications or ensure a globally uniform brand appearance across many languages.

Further improvements

include a powerful dynamic list control (for more, watch the video), JavaScript samples, improved Adobe XD import for the Smart Importer, UI/UX optimizations for the Fusion Editor.

「Candera Studio」For those new to Candera Studio, a quick reminder:

Candera’s latest innovation is the HMI software toolchain Candera Studio – for industrial applications. It is an intuitive, noncoding HMI software tool – clearly “designed for designers”. For easy access, especially faster on-boarding, with multi-language documentation, and detailed tutorials.

Designed to be open: to be integrated “from any input” i.e., various graphics tools – “to any output” i.e., operating systems and hardware.

Presenting for the first time the Fusion Editor for intuitive visual composition of logic and behaviors: No coding skills necessary.

Candera Studio includes ready-to-use controls, automated workflows, integrated state machine and an AI-powered Smart Importer. It uses artificial intelligence to recognize relevant components such as buttons, sliders, gauges, etc., and suggests the appropriate function for each element. Simply select the appropriate component and define its property. Check the result immediately in a simulation of the Candera Studio Player. In a few minutes, you have created a fully functional HMI.

With over 20 years of experience in embedded software development, Candera offers a customizable product for our broad customer base. We work closely together with our customers and industry partners to provide solutions for both current and future HMI needs.
