When HYPERSIM’s in-schematic signal monitoring is not enough, when networks are very large, or when more types of widgets are required, or even for training purposes, it may be practical to build distinct dashboards with a more concise organization of the information. Several tools can be used to achieve this, such as NI LabVIEW. Information is sent in real time from HYPERSIM using compatible communication protocols such as TCP/UDP or OPC UA and displays are refreshed every few milliseconds.
