WideQuick PSIM Features PSIM software contains many useful features. In WideQuick PSIM most features are ready-touse, but the flexibility and the powerful tools make it extremely easy to create high-level functionality by combining various objects and functions. Project Templates Presentation Layers A number of example projects are included in the installation of WideQuick PSIM. These projects contain great examples of what can be achieved and how to do it. A well-thoughtthrough structure is applied to the examples and they can easily be reused and adjusted as desired, using the powerful graphical features. Due to the smart dynamic features of WideQuick PSIM, any object can be displayed/hidden based on its condition. This feature can be used to provide presentation layers that can be activated both automatically and manually. Alarms and Events Statistics and Trends The alarm and event module in WideQuick PSIM is very sophisticated and was originally developed for the SCADA market. In WideQuick PSIM any variable can be logged cyclically or when a change in value occurs. There are predefined objects for displaying both statistic and trend graphs of all desired variables. Statistic and trend graphs provide an excellent tool for making sound decisions. By combining these with alarm logs and alarm frequency lists, it facilitates investigations and may very well constitute the difference of failure and success in finding the culprits in an alarm situation. Standard Operating Procedures In a stressful situation, it is of great importance that the operator gets as much support from the system as possible. Presenting a list of checkboxes with mandatory actions for the operator to perform upon an alarm is a clear and safe way to make sure that standard procedures are maintained. 6 -
Other Great Features... The built-in JavaScript engine included in Kentima s software WideQuick PSIM and Ethiris VMS, is an exceptional tool for customization of a system. There are virtually no limits for what the system integrator can achieve using script. A built-in variable browser, intellisense and drag & drop make scripting easier than ever before. Powerful ready-to-use objects such as the ActiveX container and the HTML object, allow seamless integration with third-party tools and websites. Script and Data Store WideQuick PSIM provides the integrator with a scripting language for easily enhancing more advanced functionality in PSIM systems.

Fast and Efficient Developing advanced security systems is made extremely easy when using WideQuick PSIM. Many system integrators attest to WideQuick being one of the fastest developing tools in the business. Innovative tools such as OPC browser, graphical aligning, object library and undo/redo list have a dramatically positive impact on the development time. Object Library In WideQuick PSIM there are predefined object libraries for all the typical security systems such as fire alarm, intruder alarm, access control and building automation. In addition, it is possible to create custom objects and put them in the object library for reuse in both the current project as well as other projects. From the object library, you can drag & drop the desired number of instances of the object to one or more workviews in the project. The dynamics of the new instances operate independently. If the symbol is changed in the object library, it is promoted to all instances in the project. The object library is another reason for the success of WideQuick PSIM and for being seen as one of the fastest and most efficient tools in the industry. Undo/Redo The powerful undo/redo list keeps track of every change that is made in the on-going project. It s easy to go back and forth in the list, effectively undoing/redoing the previous work. This is a great time saver and gives opportunities to try new ideas without being afraid to ruin the project. Thermometer Gauge Door state Vector Graphics WideQuick PSIM has a well-thought-through structure for creating vector-based graphics. The basic graphical objects can quickly be modified with color, multiple gradients, rotation, frame and size to create a modern and intuitive user interface. Customized User Interface The provided example projects make up a very good starting point. Sometimes these projects are even used as they are in real systems. Even though, many times the system integrator wants to change some details in the user interface. One of the most appreciated features of WideQuick PSIM are the powerful tools for graphical design. With a minimum of training most users can achieve amazing results using the WideQuick Designer. For example, changing the color of every fire alarm detector in a project is done in an instant, simply change the color for the object in the object library. The change is promoted to every instance of that object in the project. - 9
