How to Install

Download and run the file UA.ModelDesigner.exe to unzip the content to the selected folder and create an icon on the desktop. The application will run after unpacking. To restart the application you may use the icon on the desktop or double click the application file <target>\CAS.UA.ModelDesigner.exe, where <target> is the already selected folder during the installation. To uninstall the software and embedded examples delete the <target> folder and the icon.

Note: The self-extracting zip file and the main application is not code-signed. The unsigned executable may not be allowed by your company's IT policy. The installer package containing signed stuff is on the project road map (check out #89 to get more details). Further development is based on the priorities of sponsors.

How to get started

The following step-by-step instructions will guide you on how to open the examples.

• The subfolder <target>\EmbeddedExample contains two examples:
  • BoilerExampleSolution - a set of unmanned boilers spread geographically, which have to be monitored and remotely controlled
  • ADIExempleSolution - a set of models to be used as an example of adopting companion standard models, i.e. analyzer devices integration
• Now you may run the ASMD application and open the selected solution using File.Open menu entry.
