Designer View is the main canvas of Atmosphere Developer. It is where the customer can drag and drop elements and then connect one element to another. Designer View is displayed as a block diagram of the application, and shows how a given input (function) affects a given output. To use it, simply select an “element” from the Element Toolbox and drag it into Designer View. Elements are pre-made blocks of code that perform various functions. Elements assist users in quickly developing an application while also being beneficial for those who do not know how to write code. Elements can also have their properties edited to be customizable for their functionality, so they may be used in a variety of ways. Elements can be connected to one another with “connectors” which allow them to expand their functionality and prompt each other to perform different actions. For example: drag a button element and a GPIO toggle element to Designer View and connect them together by grabbing and extending a line from the button element to the GPIO toggle element. This will create a button on the Atmosphere app that will toggle a GPIO pin when connected to the Anaren MSDK.
