Add
data monitoring to applications with minimal changes to their
code.
Interactive
graphics. Multiple windows.
Display
in Internet Browser for global access.
Monitor
data acquisitions over time, such as financial or weather data.
Initially
developed to monitor long-running scientific simulations, the software can
monitor any data stream that is output to netCDF files. Existing
applications can be the source of data. Graphical monitoring is added with
only minimal changes to the application. Written in Java, the monitoring
software can run in an Internet browser enabling wide area access. There
are several presentation types: line plot, animated over time, contour plots,
and surface plots. Interactive scroll and zoom enable exploring the data
and pin-pointing numeric values. Annotation with labels and graphics
provides added meaning to the data. Multiple windows can contain multiple
graphs for showing several items simultaneously. Copy plots from one graph
and paste into another for comparison. PostScript and PDF files are output
for high quality presentation.
