This picture shows part of a virtual control panel using sliders and other KineticaRT components to control a wind tunnel rolling road sub-system.
The customer uses this control panel as part of a complete wind tunnel control and recording system to manually drive the rolling road sub-system for test and calibration purposes. The sub-system is normally under complete control of the KineticaRT application. There are in fact five sliders in this picture, the rightmost one being used as a mode output selector to control the state of the sub-system. The leftmost one is used as an analog output device to set the required road speed setpoint and indicates the value by means of a right facing arrow (orange). The next to the right (green) is an analog input recording the actual road speed. Superimposed over this is a setpoint repeater (blue) analog input. Next to this on the right is the error slider (red) an analog input device showing the difference between setpoint and actual road speed.
