Workshop4 – ViSi Genie
ViSi-Genie is a breakthrough in the way 4D Systems’
graphic display modules are programmed. It is an
environment like no other, a code-less programming
environment that provides the user with a rapid visual
experience, enabling a simple GUI application to be
‘written’ from scratch in literally seconds.
ViSi-Genie does all the background coding, no 4DGL to
learn, it does it all for you.
Pick and choose the relevant objects to place on the
display, much like the ViSi Environment yet without
having to write a single line of code. Each object has
parameters which can be set, and configurable events
to animate and drive other objects or communicate
with external devices.
Simply place an object on the screen, position and size
it to suit, set the parameters such as colour, range,
text, and finally select the event you wish the object to
be associated with, it is that simple.
In seconds you can transform a blank display into a
fully animated GUI with moving sliders, animated
press and release buttons, and much more. All without
writing a single line of code!
ViSi-Genie provides the user with a feature rich rapid
development environment, second to none.
ViSi-Genie’s functionality can be extended with the
purchase of a Workshop4 PRO License.
Workshop4 PRO adds a professional set of features to
the Visi-Genie environment called Genie-Magic. The
added features allow the user to add in 4DGL scripts,
which can be activated from the display itself, from an
interfacing Host, or from an external sensor or device.
These PRO set of features of Genie-Magic allow the
User to create an immensely powerful GUI system
with a fraction of the effort required by other systems.

Workshop4 – Serial
The Serial environment in the Workshop 4 IDE
provides the user the ability to transform a 4D Systems
Intelligent Display, into a slave serial graphics
controller.
This enables the user to use their favourite
microcontroller or serial device as the Host, without
having to learn 4DGL or program in a separate IDE.
Once the display module is configured by the Serial
Environment (by downloading what is called the SPE
application to the module), commands can be sent
from the users host microcontroller to display
primitives, images, sound and video, and can even be
used to display ViSi generated graphics and widgets.
The Serial Environment should not be taken as being
basic in terms of its capabilities, as it has the full 4DGL
command set behind it, but available from the Host
rather than from programming the display module
itself using the Workshop4 IDE.
Virtually anything created in Designer or ViSi, can be
designed or controlled from the Serial Environment.
Please refer to the
“Diablo16 Serial Command Set
Reference Manual”
from the
on the 4D Systems website for a complete listing
of all the supported Serial commands
