Jetter, the controller manufacturer from Ludwigsburg, is set to really put smiles on the faces of its loyal long-term customers in particular with the latest version (4.1.3) of its JetSym programming tool. This version contains a number of expansions, although it is the newly integrated program converter which steals the show. This feature enables programs created with the previous JetSym or JetSym ST programming languages to be converted into the latest JetSym STX programming language. So, a program developed in the 1990s can now be implemented and run on the latest JetControl 300 controller hardware. Customers benefit from minimal conversion work, a quick time-to-market, and investment security with the latest generation of Jetter controllers. Once the conversion has been performed, the user can make use of all the commands featured in JetSym STX to expand the programs, such as string commands, file operations, structured exception handling, and, of course, object-oriented programming.
