Medallion Instrumentation Systems Success Story
After the graphical display revolution started, Medallion quickly found that their original GUI design tool was becoming cumbersome. It did not easily support the rapid design iterations required to keep up with the changes occurring in various vehicles and industry segments.
After completing their evaluations, Medallion concluded that Altia would best provide the agility and efficiency it was looking for. Altia Design, Altia’s embedded GUI editor, is the core of its design environment, supporting every step of the design process from prototype to final product.
DeepScreen is Altia’s code generator, transforming designs into efficient graphics code for any of dozens of popular processor target.
“At the end of the day, Altia gets the most out of our hardware platform, compared to the alternatives,” said VanderWall. “We’ve tried other tools and previous platforms—and Altia’s efficiency improvement is very good. So, we’re very happy about that.”
