Nothing to do with cute graphics, the interface itself is pitiful

Build a better one and I'll be glad to check it out.

Isn't EST and Edwards the same thing?

They've got several divisions. Some product lines seem to overlap. They
also OEM for lots of companies, including yours. Our app was written for
the FireShield line. These are entry level commercial fire alarms, the
bread and butter of many firms. When they approached me to do consulting
work on the project, they said they were under the gun due to changes in ULc
which would shortly make their then current line unusable in Canada. They
were short on time and I offered to relieve them of the software burden. It
was perfect for me since my online business wasn't doing as well as it is
now.

What they liked best was the portability of the app as we designed it. At
the heart of every downloader are three major pieces of programming.
There's the EEPROM map, a set of data rules (limits and cross-checks mainly)
and the communications module. The EEPROM map and the data rules can all be
soft-coded into the schema. Communicating with alarm panels is always
tricky. You do a lot of trial and error until you get it to talk. Once a
particular communication chip's behavior has been learned, the rest is easy.
Fortunately, manufacturers tend to use similar methods from one panel to the
next, so it's not that hard to do the next product line.
How much do you know about Synergy?

Synergy is an advanced system incorporating burg, fire, EVAC, access and
CCTV controls. The system requires much more than just a downloader.
Synergy software actively monitors and operates a whole suite of protective
services. Our program wasn't intended for that kind of application. It
could easily be used to DL any standard burg, fire or hybrid system though.
That's one of the strengths of XML. Once the modular structure is written
the app becomes whatever it wants to be.

Franks got the blender on "High Speed" tonight.......... heh heh

Olson's still trying to start a fight. Nothing has changed.

More about our downloader app... We wrote the cross-check into the download
module. You can save a file without running a cross-check but you can't
download until it passes. That makes it almost impossible to make many of
the most common installer errors, such as failing to enter an account
number, receiver phone number, etc., on a monitored account.

Also, we allow the dealer to set up standard data for as many receivers as
he wants. When doing new jobs he just selects the receiver by name and his
favorite settings are already there. When a dealer does numerous similar
jobs the app can save lots of time writing files.

DL speed is lightning fast compared to most other systems, too.
