Remote Data Viewing

Numeric and image data is fed into the Ring Buffered Network Bus (RBNB) "Data Turbine". The Data Turbine is responsible for collecting and synchronizing data from data sources. Synchronized data is streamed to Realtime Data Viewer (RDV) clients. Synchronized data is also streamed to disk for later access.

RDV

Used to view realtime, streaming data over a network from a Data Turbine Server
