Overview
Vista is the software platform and infrastructure
for Astra, VistaPro, and the System 550*, providing
a powerful environment for system operation and management,
including system setup and control, project/mission
database management, and system status and monitoring
Vista’s distributed, network-oriented architecture provides
great flexibility in system design by allowing functions
to be spread across multiple computers on a network.
In addition to supporting capabilities developed by
L-3 TW, Vista allows you to add your own software or
hardware modules so that a system can be augmented to
support unique requirements.

Powerful System Management Tools
– The System Manager is the main system user interface
used to work with Vista modules and applications.
It provides an easy-to-use interface with features
such as a toolbar, the Navigation Tree, multiple
workspaces, window docking/tiling/cascading, and
the Status bar. Module setup information is stored
in standard SQL databases that can be accessed through
any SQL database management system (DBMS), ORM wrapper,
or directly through SQL or JDBC calls (MS Access
is normally provided with the software). The Project
Manager is used to create, compile, load, and save
Vista projects from module databases as well as
to monitor module status once running. The Event
Monitor allows you to monitor various types of events,
such as setup events, error messages, and alarms
occurring in the system.

Robust Application Programming Interface
(API) – The Java API allows integration
of other software with Vista. The API is the same
as that used by the system internally and by the user
interface, providing full system control and monitoring
to user applications. The API also provides access
to the event system to allow user software to monitor
events and also generate events. The Module Framework
API provides the interface and tools for users to
integrate their own software and hardware modules.
