Web Monitoring with Agilent VEE
Web Monitoring with Agilent VEE
VEE includes a built-in Web server that can communicate with other
programs via HTTP. You can allow remote users to access VEE programs
and information that reside on your computer. This section describes how
you would share VEE data, and how a remote user would access the data.
General Guidelines and Tips
n The VEE program running on your system is the VEE program that the
remote user will access.
n Your system must be running VEE. The remote user does not need to
have VEE installed in order to access a VEE program on your system.
n When the remote user sends a request from their network browser to
VEE, VEE creates a picture to display in the remote user’s browser
window. This picture is a “snapshot” of the VEE program. (It cannot be
edited.)
n By making choices in the VEE Web Server Home Page or by specifying
command line options in the browser URL, a remote user can view
different parts of your VEE program, have the VEE program refresh the
browser display at regular intervals (to monitor the program’s progress),
and display error message information.
Providing Agilent VEE Data to a Remote User
To set up the VEE Web server so that a remote user can access data on your
system, follow these general steps:
1. Make sure your system is connected to a network.
2. Provide information to the remote user about the URL he or she will
enter in the browser to access your system (which is described in more
detail below).
