Short: Data Acq. and Processing -- Graphic control "The Web" -- Demonstration Edition ================================= "The Web" is a an interactive, graphic-diagram based, environment designed (at least initially) for Scientific Data Acquisition and Processing. This Demonstration Edition has a restricted set of data-handling modules, and cannot save things to disk, but is otherwise full-featured. The concept underlying the system is of data packets travelling between data handling `Elements'; these are connected by `Paths' along which the packets travel -- being extended and modified as they go. Configurations are built by placing and connecting the desired elements on screen using the mouse. They can be modified at any time, even while data is flowing. Full advantage is taken of multitasking, of course. (With the full system) users can write their own modules and add them to the environment; each module is defined by its own program. Many data formats other than the one chosen for its current application are possible; they are self-identifying, and so can be mixed in a single configuration. The Web needs the 2.04 or later operating system. It should run in a 1MB machine (not tested!); it shows off its capabilities best on a 68030 system with floating point accelerator, but does not need either of these. Likewise a hard disk is preferable but not necessary (the current system fits easily on a floppy -- about 1/2 MB). The demonstration package is self-contained. Unpack it into a convenient directory or onto a floppy disk of its own. Demo.DOC has full instructions on installation and operation. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 3832 2444 36.2% 23-Jun-92 15:53:14 Brancher 835 426 48.9% 14-Apr-92 18:18:52 Brancher.info 45166 17832 60.5% 16-Jul-92 00:05:20 Demo.DOC 2573 480 81.3% 14-Apr-92 18:18:46 Demo.DOC.info 388 221 43.0% 14-May-92 22:58:40 Disk.info 1043 460 55.8% 17-Apr-92 23:29:08 Install Libs.info 519 306 41.0% 14-Apr-92 23:42:30 Install.text 632 285 54.9% 14-Apr-92 18:18:52 MODULES.info 382 230 39.7% 15-Jul-92 23:23:42 run_WEB 912 229 74.8% 14-Apr-92 18:18:50 run_WEB.info 3732 2303 38.2% 12-Jun-92 23:37:02 Traveller 835 425 49.1% 14-Apr-92 18:18:46 Traveller.info 95508 49337 48.3% 01-Jul-92 21:07:42 Web 950 265 72.1% 13-May-92 18:24:26 Web DEMO 1.info 950 267 71.8% 13-May-92 18:24:52 Web DEMO 2.info 835 425 49.1% 14-Apr-92 18:18:44 Web.info 16912 9491 43.8% 01-Mar-90 18:44:32 C/muchmore 6144 3718 39.4% 27-Feb-90 12:38:04 C/Xicon 456 258 43.4% 30-Jun-92 22:20:02 CONFIGURATIONS/config.1 2996 881 70.5% 15-Jul-92 23:26:56 CONFIGURATIONS/config.2 867 422 51.3% 30-Jun-92 19:03:44 CONFIGURATIONS/Data_Demo 23640 18147 23.2% 18-May-92 11:43:26 DATA/AELocate_SIM1_5-19-92 26428 5641 78.6% 17-May-92 15:51:20 DATA/ET_gcal_009.1L 5002 811 83.7% 17-May-92 15:52:12 DATA/ET_gcal_009.1S 69352 14606 78.9% 17-May-92 13:02:54 DATA/ET_pb2_01.1 2644 1542 41.6% 25-Jul-90 12:32:26 LIBS/ppipc.library 25136 14480 42.3% 05-Jul-92 14:46:04 LIBS/shadow.library 4848 3128 35.4% 15-Jul-92 23:05:52 MODULES/ClipnScale 6880 4012 41.6% 05-Jul-92 11:23:04 MODULES/FFT 10376 5998 42.1% 05-Jul-92 11:22:54 MODULES/FileRead 3948 2318 41.2% 05-Jul-92 11:22:40 MODULES/Gate 3556 2294 35.4% 05-Jul-92 11:23:24 MODULES/GCut 8876 5141 42.0% 05-Jul-92 11:22:44 MODULES/Lissajous 39484 20943 46.9% 05-Jul-92 22:48:42 MODULES/Master 8812 5372 39.0% 05-Jul-92 11:23:28 MODULES/Play 4616 2870 37.8% 05-Jul-92 11:22:36 MODULES/RanGen 10248 5705 44.3% 05-Jul-92 11:22:26 MODULES/Scope 4740 2801 40.9% 23-Jun-92 15:55:24 MODULES/Sync -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 445053 206514 53.5% 14-Aug-92 23:00:00 38 files
