External Programs

External programs run in order to feed plant data into ImPRO Server, or in order to call monitoring displays. Example programs are found in the external directory.

While ImPROs are running, run the datafeed program as follows

>cd ImPRO/external/datafeed/jexamples
>java -classpath ./;ImPRO_Directory/bin dcs

ImPRO_Directory is where ImPRO is installed.

The example dcs.java can be modified to feed specific plant data.

The next command is used to catch the monitoring dispaly from the process pane.

>cd ImPRO/external/ctrlcatch
>java softcontrol
