- About DataWeb
- =============
-
- DataWeb is a an interactive, graphic-diagram based, environment designed
- (at least initially) for Scientific Data Acquisition and Processing.
- The Demonstration Edition has a restricted set of data-handling modules,
- and cannot save things to disk, but is otherwise full-featured.
-
- The concept underlying the system is of data packets travelling between
- data handling `Elements'; these are connected by `Paths' along which the
- packets travel -- being extended and modified as they go. Configurations
- are built by placing and connecting the desired elements on screen using
- the mouse. They can be modified at any time, even while data is flowing.
- Full advantage is taken of multitasking, of course.
-
- With the full system, users can write their own modules and add them to
- the environment; each module is defined by its own program. Many data
- formats other than the one chosen for its current application are possible;
- they are self-identifying, and so can be mixed in a single configuration.
-
- DataWeb needs the 2.04 or later operating system. It should run in a
- 1MB machine (not tested!); it shows off its capabilities best on a 68030
- system with floating point accelerator, but does not need either of these.
- Likewise a hard disk is preferable but not necessary (the current system
- fits easily on a floppy -- about 1/2 MB).
-
- The demonstration package is self-contained. Unpack it into a convenient
- directory or onto a floppy disk of its own. Demo.DOC has full instructions
- on installation and operation.
