Needs no external Hardware
Everything happens on-screen
Visual Control 2 is used at Key Stages 3 and 4 to teach control. It offers a low cost entry into the world of control as it needs no external control boxes. The inclusion of several virtual models which are linked to the QCA schemes makes it a particularly attractive buy.
Visual Control 2 enables the creation of on-screen active models. Active Model Technology incorporates Active Components, these are on-screen animations of common control components and function as real components.
Functional models are constructed with active components, these simulate digital switches, analogue sensors, l.e.ds, motors, pneumatic, hex. displays etc.
A picture is added as a scene, this represents the model. Active components are placed over the scene bringing the model to life. Many different active models can be made. Visual Control comes with several active models a car park barrier, water chute ride, house alarm, traffic lights, greenhouse etc these are based on QCA schemes.
A program is written to control the active model.

A program is written to control the active model.
Programs can respond to analogue sensors, eight inputs and control all outputs.
Visual Control includes all the commands you would expect in a powerful modern control language. Decision making using IF...THEN. IF AND THEN. IF OR THEN Loops using REPEAT or WHILE. Wait periods with the WAIT command. Switching on output lines is easy SWITCH ON 1 or SWITCH ON ALL.
A new feature enables the creation of a flowchart of the program.
Up to 255 variables maybe used. Commands can be grouped into procedures. Programs and Active models maybe saved and print outs made. Includes online User Guide with language reference, program examples and online control learning guide.
