Netron Fusion™ Overview

Construction Tools

The Wizard

The Wizard provides developers with a graphical front-end to frameworks, Netron's application templates that produce a quick first cut at application generation. The Wizard prompts you for application specific information such as application name, chosen protocol, and data information. The answers provided in a Wizard session are used in conjunction with the chosen framework to generate all the components required to assemble a working application. You can even build your own application frameworks using the Wizard's extensive scripting language.

Interface Designers

Netron Fusion includes a series of editors that let you define the GUI windows and dialogs, text-based screens, and reports for whatever type of application — distributed, online or batch — that you are building.

Specification Editor

The core of every Netron Fusion program is the Specification Frame, or SPC. This frame contains the business logic specific to the program, and controls how the rest of the program is constructed from reusable components and interface designs. Netron's Specification Editor ties your custom program specification together with the Object Manager, Data Manager and Interface designers to facilitate rapid development and prototyping of your program.

Netron Processor and Graphical Debugger

The Netron Processor is at the heart of the component assembly process. It directs the cutting and splicing of the required frames and the insertion of unique code to construct a complete source file. The Netron Processor can be used to generate any form of text file, but typically is used to generate application source files which are compiled and linked to create a working application. Netron Processor includes a Graphical Debugger which allows you to detect processing errors in your program quickly and easily. The Debugger enables you to monitor various aspects of the assembly process so you can see exactly how your application is assembled and make fine adjustments where necessary.
