Controls.kt uses some concepts and modules of DataForge, such as Meta (tree-like value structure).

The demo includes a simple mock device with a few properties changing as sin and cos of the current time. The device is configurable via a simple TornadoFX-based control panel. You can run a demo by executing application/run Gradle task.

The graphs are displayed using plotly.kt library.
