ALTAIR Software Suite

Real-Time Checkout Software Suite

​

The Ulyssix ALTAIR Software Suite is designed to work with any of the Ulyssix family of products in a Windows based environment. The ALTAIR Software Suite is ideal for a Real-Time Checkout application. With self built in widgets, no compiling is necessary when creating new displays. Giving full frame archiving capability, this software utilizing the Ulyssix hardware can archive the raw frame dump data to a designated hard drive. This archived data can then be played back using the Bald Eagle™ or Tarsus3™ archive simulator for further processing.

 

Included in the software suite is the Ulyssix FlashBurn, a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) programming tool. This allows the user to update the on board firmware without sending the hardware back to the factory. Easy to follow Setups, self diagnostic tools, and various adaptable displays are just a few attributes that set the ALTAIR Software apart from the rest.
