Information

ViSi-Genie: An advanced environment called ViSi-Genie doesn’t require any 4DGL coding at all, it is all
done automatically for you. Simply lay the display out with the objects you want, set the events to drive
them and the code is written for you automatically. ViSi-Genie provides the latest rapid development
experience from 4D Systems.

Workshop4 is a comprehensive software IDE tool suite that provides an integrated software development platform
for all of the 4D family of processors and modules. The Workshop4 IDE supports four different Development
Environments for the user, to cater for different requirements and skill level.
Designer: The Designer environment enables the user to write 4DGL code in its natural form to program
the μLCD-28PTU.
ViSi: A visual programming experience, suitably called ViSi, enables drag-and-drop type placement of
objects to assist with 4DGL code generation and allows the user to visualise how the display will look
while being developed.
Serial: A Serial environment is also provided to transform the μLCD-28PTU into a slave serial module,
allowing the user to control the display from any host microcontroller or device with a serial port.
