[foxboro] Why do people use PCs to show DM/FV (Inspired by Dual headed Hummingbird displays)

If you don't mind, I'd like to ask the community of users about how and why
they use PCs to show FV/DM displays. I know that this is not scientific, but
I'm curious.
 

 

So, if you use PCs, would you please answer a few questions for me?

 

1)                How are the PCs used?

a.                On a scale of 0 to 10 where

                                                          i.      0 is never
uses I/A Series Applications and 

                                                      ii.      10 is never
uses non-I/A Series applications (except eXceed of course), where would you
rank the use of your PCs?

 

For example, I think a 10 user is an operator console, a 7 or 8 user might
have company specific programs that need to be run on operator console, a 3
user might be a PC at home used for dial-up support.

 

2)                Why are PCs used?

a.                Low-Cost

b.                Environmental hardening

c.                Remote location hard to reach with a PC

d.                Dial-up (or VPN or whatever) access from home

 

3)                What other types of HMI (beside WPs) should we be
offering?

 

 

Thanks,

 

AJ
