SpecView's built-in Web Server is a dongle option.

 

It is a built-in Web Server inside the SpecView program that allows the currently showing Computer screen to be served up as a web page from time to time to web browsers.

It will show the whole screen, not just SpecView's GDWs.

It allows no interaction with the system whatsoever as of right now.

Its use is limited to being able to just see what is on the screen at that moment.

 

To properly view and interact with a SpecView at another location SpecView's Local/Remote networking facility would be required.

 

To use the Web Server it should first be enabled and the refresh rate set using Preferences - Web Server.

 

There is also a simple web page file, which is required to interact with it, this can be requested when ordering the dongle option.

 

This web page file should be put into the main SV3 folder and the Web server (if it is enabled) will use it to display the screen shots.

 

It is advisable to ensure that the pre-defined SpecView variables:

 SpecView.Date

 SpecView.Time

are displayed on the screen so that the remote user can see exactly when SpecView last refreshed the information.
