Integration with 3rd Party Products

GL Studio - A Revolutionary tool for next generation human-machine interface (HMI) development. Empowering the Human Machine Interface.

While GL Studio content can be used and integrated just about anywhere, DiSTI provides turnkey integration with the following products. Use these turnkey solutions to:

  • Integrate real-time instruments into a project
  • Rapidly create content through photo realistic textures
  • Encapsulate graphics and C++ code into a reusable software object (RSO)

VR-Vantage Integration

Not only does GL Studio allow users to create Reusable Software Objects (RSOs) proficiently, it offers the ability to integrate those RSOs and other content into the VR-Vantage visual solution. In essence, GL Studio RSOs provide the graphical interface, including graphical overlays and heads-up displays, to MÄK's Vantage IG. In turn, VR-Vantage seamlessly integrates the display and interaction of RSOs into the rest of a simulation.


Various applications use this integration process due to the simplicity of each step. In fact, a GL Studio user can integrate an RSO to VR-Vantage in only a few short steps. By adding a model definition, attaching the RSO to an entity type, viewing the RSO and finally adding simulation data to a heads-up display, the integration is complete.


The compatibility between GL Studio and VR-Vantage gives our customers the flexibility and high fidelity that they demand. To assess the individual capabilities of VR-Vantage, visit www.vr-vantage.com/ for further information.

GLS Vega Prime

Powered by Presagis' Vega Prime 3D visualization toolkit, the GLS Vega Prime Plug-In allows GL Studio® users to quickly and easily insert HMI content into fully immersive virtual reality environments, giving users an unprecedented level of interactivity.


Fully integrated with Vega Prime and the LynX Prime configuration tool, users rapidly add components ranging from multi-function displays and heads-up displays into Vega Prime applications without the need to write additional code.


The plug-in can take advantage of externally developed GL Studio objects allowing users to insert content built for other discipline areas into their visualization device. Properties within the GL Studio objects can control, or be controlled by, the other objects in the Vega Prime environment.


GLS Statemate

With GL Studio's Statemate plug-in, users can incorporate IBM Rational® Statemate solutions into their projects. DiSTI created the Statemate plug-in for GL Studio to ensure the smooth combination of an efficient logic engine with the high-fidelity graphics of GL Studio to ultimately reduce overall development costs.


The Statemate solution is a graphical design, simulation, and prototyping tool for the rapid development of complex embedded systems. It enables users to specify systems in a non-ambiguous manner, assisting in finding errors early in the design lifecycle, prior to final integration testing.


Use IBM Rational's Statemate solution to create graphical models of systems, highlight active states, simulate incomplete designs and provide mockups. Then, using various inputs affected by the Statemate's math models, utilize the Statemate plug-in to transition these values into GL Studio. Because the plug-in is in use, GL Studio easily receives these values and correctly incorporates them into your project.
