Overview

GEMstudio is used to create the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and program the Amulet module. GEMstudio is a complete package which includes authoring tools, simulator and programming.

Amulet has created a number of I/O objects, referred to as Amulet Widgets which can be added into your GEMstudio project. There are two types of Amulet Widgets: Control Widgets and View Widgets. Control Widgets are input objects, like function buttons, sliders, radio buttons, etc... Control Widgets have a function, or a set of functions, that can be applied to them. View Widgets are output objects, like bargraphs, numeric fields, string fields, etc... View Widgets call a function which returns the data used as the input for that particular widget.
