apart from looking at the dashboard with the IP address set like this we do have another web page on some of the controllers that are specifically for width measurement applications and this dashboard is for General prototyping it's got the sensor and fault information and things like that but for customers that are looking to log data for width measurement application they can go into another dashboard and that's located in the same website address or the IP address and with the extension width.htm so it looks like a similar kind of dashboard the only difference is that this is specifically designed for width measurement application so as you can see on the top it shows you the width of the web directly in inches and if you want to look at it in millimeters you can just go in and click that it's going to give you that width in there and if you have the web moving back and forth you can still see that the width is being measured and recorded everything is similar to the previous dashboard except that it's catered more towards width application and you can also set the same thing to download the settings and save it and things like that one additional thing that we need to keep in mind when we have this dashboard is that the data is actually coming from the controller and there is a web server that is running on the controller so you can have multiple instances of the dashboard so you can actually go in and open another one and have two dashboards at the same time and whenever you are setting up to download the data again you need to keep in mind that as long as the web browser is open it's going to keep doing everything if the web browser is closed or if you refresh this page on the web browser the data is going to start over every browser tab or every browser tab is an instance and the web server is serving the content and then the JavaScript on the web server is executing it and displaying the content on the web page that's the only thing that you need to keep in mind is that if you want to log the data you need to have either a dedicated computer where you can set this up and then nobody is going to disturb it that way it keeps recording the data automatically and other than that it's a quick prototyping tool to see how our system performs and what the parameters of the system are in real time once again thank you for watching and we'll have please subscribe to our Channel and we'll have more videos that talks a little bit more detail about different things from our product
