Flightdeck-UI Online development release 0.5.0 available
The goal of the Flightdeck-UI project is to apply ideas from aircraft instrumentation design to general-purpose user interfaces. The Flightdeck-UI Online 0.5.0 development release focuses on some code cleanup and documentation (mostly based on analysis with pylint) starting from the previous stable release, version 0.4.0. See the homepage: "http://www.openlight.com/fdui" or download directly from: "http://openlight.com/fdui/downloads/fdui-online-0.5.0.tar.gz". What is Flightdeck-UI --------------------- The goal of the Flightdeck-UI project is to apply ideas from aircraft instrumentation design to general purpose user interfaces. The project has released the following packages. * Flightdeck-UI Online is a Web-based monitoring system/dashboard, which allows you to create multiple control panels to observe a diverse set of variables. You view these control panels entirely through a web browser (requires Flash). * Flightdeck-UI Multi-Variable Monitor(MVM) is a monitoring system/dashboard application that you install locally. It runs under both Windows and Linux. MVM includes a graphical editor (with theme support) for creating monitoring consoles. * Flightdeck-UI Library is a collection of virtual instruments that you can use in your own programs. Both Flightdeck-UI Online and Flightdeck-UI MVM use the library. Flightdeck-UI Online and Flightdeck-UI MVM share the same plugin architecture. The online version, however, is capable of monitoring each plugin at a different sampling rate. Both applications can track multiple heterogeneous data sources (hosts on the Internet, embedded devices, etc.) simultaneously. Plugins can use threads, simple synchronous I/O, or asynchronous I/O; the distributions contain examples of each type. For example, almost any Unix command that you enter manually via the shell can be automatically executed by Flightdeck-UI Online or Flightdeck-UI MVM, and the results displayed by the system's virtual instruments. The author welcomes ideas and suggestions: please email them directly to "python@openlight.com". Best Wishes, George Belotsky.
