AppletVIEW
Using Nacimiento's
patent-pending VIP technology, the AppletVIEW Toolkit
publishes virtual instrumentation systems, such as
those written with LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI, on the
web.
Once published you can see and interact with
your instrumentation from anywhere in the world with
a web browser like Netscape or Internet Explorer.
Instrumentation that was once an isolated system requiring
the physical presence of an operator can now easily
be made available to a corporate-wide group of operators
in different locations. Remote users do not need to
purchase any special software nor perform any type
of configuration on their computers; they simply connect
to the appropriate web address and then access the
instrumentation system.
Publishing an instrumentation system involves making
it available to web browsers, and making a web browser
able to connect to it. AppletVIEW accomplishes this
with three parts:
Libraries to make the instrumentation system available
to a remote client.
Tools to configure what the interface in the web
browser looks like.
A server to broker communication between the two.
All of the parts of the AppletVIEW development kit
are designed to be easy to use. For example, the
VIs and programming libraries that plug into LabVIEW
or LabWindows/CVI will be familiar to any LabVIEW
programmer and they do not require any complex TCP/IP
programming or configuration. AppletBuilder, the
AppletVIEW program you use to recreate the interface
of your instrument, is a drag and drop system that
generates Java applets without any programming.
Finally, AppletVIEW gives you a suite of programs
to manage the connections between your local and
remote instruments.
