Dynamically updated displays are produced with the KOOLPAGE program.

KOOLPAGE provides an ActiveX component that allows other programs to dynamically access the KOOLTRAK database. Using this component, a simple HTML page becomes an active display program, dynamically updated at a chosen rate and displaying selected data from the KOOLTRAK database. The HTML page can be accessed with a normal browser from anywhere with network access to the database computer, on an intra-net or the inter-net.

This is a very powerful feature, with amazing possibilities. It is easy to collect temperature from data loggers from any location of interest, save it in the KOOLTRAK database, and view it from any location with network access. All the display parameters are easily changed in simple HTML code, and the HTML page can run in the background, and come automatically to the foreground when a specified event occurs. (eg a temperature goes above specified limits).

For a corporation with a large storage or production site, or with multiple sites, the applications of this program are limited only by your imagination!

A unique bar-graph display mode is available that shows logger data in 24-hour-long bands, with colors representing under, between, and over, specified temperature limits. This display format is uniquely able to enhance daily periodicities in data, often showing up effects that are otherwise very hard to see in normal display formats. In the image above, a temperature increase with a six-hour periodicity can be seen. This is the same data set as the first graph in the "Display data window" section of the Reference. At the scale of that graph no six-hour periodicity can be seen, and when the graph is expanded enough to see such a feature, insufficient data can be displayed to identify this periodicity. In the bar chart above, the eye can extract this feature easily.

KOOLPAGE has many extremely powerful features, and the unique capability that it can be browsed over a network or the web by an ordinary internet browser program. This means that data can be collected on a central system, static or dynamically updated reports created, and the resulting reports can be viewed remotely by users with a browser and access rights.
