This projects would consist of two stationary multi-monitor operator stations, perhaps a Windows tablet or two in the future, and possible some remote users (off-prem) connected via VPN.
I'm new to both Perspective and Vision, but I come from the SCADA / DCS world so Vision seems much…
I have been getting to grips with Ignition for a while now and have developed some User Interfaces for Data Collection and Analysis. I am leaning heavily towards Perspective but Vision has been in use at my company for a couple of years in a different department, where they work with machine data largely.
I will be the first person in my department to use Ignition, I work with a mixture of numerical and categorical data from users. I prefer everything about Perspective (usability, visibility et…
After going through that sizing guide, I'd add another vCPU for every 4-8 Perspective clients (of pretty much any kind), a GB of gateway RAM for every 4-8 light-duty Perspective clients, and 2-4GB of gateway RAM for every heavy-duty Perspective client.
"Light duty" would be single page Perspective apps running in Workstation, or Mobile, or single-tab browser sessions, displaying dashboards with real-time tags, up to an hour (-ish) of real-time trends, and pre-computed statistics for longer time…
