halviewer, go or no go?

Hi,

Accidentely i am building a halviewer. It interacts with hal on c and c++ level.
I had a few things to solve in c++ to get it running with the axis template gui.

This is a first preview of the program.


Red=bit off value
Green=bit on value
Orange=float value
Grey=To code, not finihed.

I was wondering. We could also set halpins, paramters, etc.

What would be a big improvement to the existing halshow?

Hi Tom,

Can you think about what would be a mayor improvement for existing the halshow program?
For example it could be :
- a logger
- a curve printer
- etc.

Maybe you have a idea?

Hi Tom,

Take your time. Succes with your new shop !

I integrated a treeview beside the tableview.
Most of the code is completed now. Have to do the "functions'.

You see in the middle there is space left.

Possible addon's :

- Maybe add a halscope there?
- Or a s-curve motion profile tester?
- Or a hal config builder?

I'm interested, looks good

Hi Tom,

Yes a scope is nice !

Hi Andy,

A halgraph or visual hal representation could be nice !

I don't have a clue how to add the arrow lines between items.

In general, i can try a new approach in 3d. This is more interesting for me to set up then a 2d graph.

For example to visulalize the standard axis gui, it has 18 components, 774 pins, 69 parameters, etc running
This is a huge ammount of data. It's almost a neural network.

Then we could integrate a 3d halscope with the same viewer. This can be quite interesting to see what happens.

Ok i will make a test today.

One great improvement would be the last search or last view function. and if the pins including pvcp are already pre-sorted in an axis view. then with little search you would have an overview of every axis or spindle.
