1. Introduction

The ProcessViewBrowser is operating system independent. It runs on Linux/Unix and Windows. ProcessViewServer runs on Linux/Unix, OpenVMS and Windows. It is operating system independent because it only uses Qt and POSIX calls. ProcessViewServer does not use Qt.

In ProcessView you have to display changing values either as text or graphically. You should also have interactive elements such as BUTTONS or EDIT_FIELDS. Now the idea behind ProcessViewBrowser is to have something similar to a HTTP browser for ProcessView. The browser can connect to any computer reachable by TCP/IP like an internet browser. On the remote computer you write your own server (very easy) with the supplied library, pvbuilder and the graphical design tool Qt Designer. This server can either access physical data by means of the supplied interfaces or connect to shared memory, a database system or both. The server will send instructions to the ProcessViewBrowser which will be interpreted there. Inputs from the user will be send to the server so that the server can take the appropriate action.
