Synoptic
Use Jdraw editor to draw the synoptic
Associate parts of the drawing to Tango
components (attributes, commands)
Give the panel class name to be popped up when
this object is clicked

Synoptic
Launch the ready to use ATK application
SimpleSynopticAppli to test the synoptic at run
time

Synoptic
Design your own specific ATK application using
your favorite Java IDE

Conclusion

• New control applications at ESRF are now based on
  Tango ATK

• The QTango developed at ELETTRA follows the same
  design pattern and software architecture.

• ATK Java Beans have been successfully integrated
  in a Java Scada system at SOLEIL
