TOPWAY Smart LCD
TOPWAY Smart LCD embeds a display engine to show pre-loaded user-interface (UI) and displays real time data provided by host via serial interface (RS-232C / RS-485 / UART).
They reduce host system’s workload and provide a much faster interaction with users.
TOPWAY SGTools can dramatically simplify and speed-up the UI design process and realize it in minutes.

Build UI with elements
Smart LCD UI is built on PAGEs. They link with background images to show on screen. PAGE contains display elements and/or action elements. VP Values are RAM data for display and/or data exchange with host. Touch elements (eg. TPK) can interact with the screen touching actions in run time. Display elements can show linked image(s), text, numbers.
