4D SYSTEMS EN4-ULCD-43DCT-SB 43 Inch Intelligent Display Module User Manual

GEN4-ULCD-43DCT-SB

4.3″, 480×272 pixel, slim Intelligent Display Module with embedded DIABLO16 processor and Capacitive Touch Panel. Super Bright.
Suitable for fast and easy integration of a full colour HMI with touch into any application or product.
As a super bright display this module is particularly suitable for outdoor applications or applications used in high brightness ambient light conditions.
Starter Kits available for first time users.
Bundles with hardware interface boards for Arduino and Raspberry Pi also available.
See product description below for more details.
3D Printable Enclosures available for Wall / Panel / Enclosure mounting. Check the download link in the downloads section.

Workshop4 is a comprehensive software IDE for Microsoft Windows that provides an integrated software development platform for all of the 4D family of processors and modules. The IDE combines the Editor, Compiler, Linker and Downloader to develop complete 4DGL application code.
All user application code is developed within the Workshop4 IDE.
Inductions

Workshop4 includes four development environments for the user to choose based on application requirements or even user skill level.
Inductions

Designer
This environment enables the user to write 4DGL code in its natural form to program the display module.

ViSi – Genie
An advanced environment that does not require any 4DGL coding at all. Everything is done automatically for you. Simply lay the display out with the objects you want (similar to ViSi), set the events to drive them and the code is written for you automatically. ViSiGenie provides the latest rapid development experience from 4D Systems.

ViSi
A visual programming experience that 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
This environment is also provided to transform the display module into a slave serial display module. It allows the user to control the display from any host microcontroller or device with a serial port.

SMART WIDGETS EDITOR

Smart Widgets Editor is a powerful utility which enables the generation of Smart Widgets.

Users can create complex widgets with up to six layers, including the layer for the base image. The order of the layers can be arranged as desired.
Each layer can contain one or more images arranged in sequence that can be manipulated in a variety of ways. Image manipulation options include horizontal motion, vertical motion, and angular motion. Additionally, the transparency of a layer can be set.
Two or more layers can be linked to produce synchronized movements of images. This enables the generation of complex widgets with multiple moving parts. Clockwork feature is also supported. This enables users to quickly generate clock widgets.
Each layer can have a numeric part which can display numbers in various fonts and formats.
Alternatively, the numeric part can be a fixed sequence of text.
The output frames can be utilized using any of the supported Workshop4 environments

GENIE MAGIC

Genie Magic is an extension to ViSi-Genie, which is available in Workshop4 PRO. Genie Magic allows the User to add 4DGL code to various points in the ViSiGenie backend code, which allows Users to take full advantage of the power of 4DGL, while retaining the speed and convenience of ViSi-Genie and its defined communication protocol.

Genie Magic allows you to enter 4DGL code in the form of Events, Code and Objects, along with various touch related additions too, giving you to the power to achieve advanced GUI’s in ViSi-Genie without having to write the full code yourself.

Genie Magic is fully supported by the genieArduino and geniePi libraries, making communication with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi host even more powerful.

When using Genie Magic in combination with the Smart Widget Editor, it is possible to use the Smart Widgets Editor tool and Smart Widgets to create other graphical user interface elements such as:
