Mettler Toledo Introduces Powerful Operator Interface

Columbus, OH, January 1, 2002- The new METTLER TOLEDO JAGXTREME(TM) Operator Interface (OI) provides an intuitive, user-centered graphical interface to weighing information. The JAGXTREME OI's flexible graphical displays are easily constructed using Windows(TM)-based, object-oriented, configuration software. Drop-in-place objects with user-definable properties allow for quick and efficient creation of operator-friendly screens tailored to specific applications.

The configuration software displays an image of how the operator panel will appear during operation, along with a menu and tool bars containing the different object types. The pre-defined objects allow for graphical display of system information using bar graphs, bitmaps and simple animation. The user simply drags an object onto the screen image in the desired location. Double-clicking on the object brings up a dialog box containing object-related parameters.

The powerful, flexible, graphics-based JAGXTREME OI system allows customers to quickly and efficiently create user-friendly operator screens tailored to their specific applications. The color graphics guide users through various applications and simultaneous device operation - reducing training time and the potential for errors. Almost intuitive, the JAGXTREME OI immediately responds to each operator action, providing instant interaction with the equipment.

Available in three enclosure styles, the new JAGXTREME OI offers a development platform that supports application reuse and portability. The terminal also has the ability to easily leverage the full range of the Internet-enabled JAGXTREME platform, including the highly optimized JagBASIC, open Ethernet-TCP/IP and Jag clustering.
