ProntoScript, a JavaScript based software tool, enables installers to create a dynamic 2-way user interface for system control over RS232 or IP with full graphical flexibility. The tool is incorporated in the ProntoEdit Professional software. Ready-made ProntoScript modules with Pronto partners are available via the website. For typical installations, you may opt to use standard installation reference files and simply re-assign the various components. More advanced JavaScript programmers will be able to create their own ProntoScript modules for complete system operation and feedback.
