As opposite to Runtime version, the Development version contains the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) window, within which the application is created and modified.

All changes performed in the graphics mode are automatically generated to the application source text and vice versa — changes in the source text are reflected in the graphics view. Applications are always saved in the form of the source text to the '.cw' files.

There are two more windows often used during application development process — Instrument Palette window and Instrument Inspector window.

Virtual instrument's properties, colors, procedures etc. can be modified using uniform Instrument Inspector window, which shows all properties of the particular virtual instrument.

Number of educational application examples are installed with the system. Example drivers of industrial devices with source code are also installed together with the complete driver documentation. This enables everybody to write own driver for any hardware device needed for the application.

The complete product documentation counting more than 1500 pages is also installed with the system. The documentation is in the standard CHM form and can by viewed and/or printed according to the user preferences.
