Creating HMI Web Pages:
The graphical portion of the HMI can be created using the Inkscape vector graphics editor together with the provided graphical widgets (push buttons, pilot lights, etc.). In addition you can create your own custom graphics and widgets.
The completed drawing can be assembled into a finished HMI web page using MBLogic HMIBuilder. HMIBuilder is a separate program which runs as a traditional GUI program on your PC.
