SpecView offers an integrated Web Server feature, available as an option in the dongle (license).

This internal Web Server facilitates periodic sharing of the SpecView program's current display as a web page, allowing access via standard web browsers.

This enables SpecView to be accessed, and optionally interacted with, on phones, tablets or a remote browser on a computer.

The system captures a screenshot of either the SpecView screen area or the entire PC screen, which is then displayed through the Web Server.

To ensure accuracy, it is advisable to avoid running other programs over the SpecView interface; otherwise, the screenshot will display the overlaying application instead of SpecView.

 

Limited interaction with the SpecView program is possible through the Web Server as of SpecView 3.1.267.

Users can click on the screenshot of the PC screen on the Web Server and have that click registered on the actual PC running the Web Server.

 

Currently, the connection to SpecView's Web Server does not use HTTPS.

The connection uses HTTP on Port 80 by default.

 

Additionally, the status of the Web Server is presented in SpecView's Pre-Defined Variables.

Access from Multiple Devices

With this functionality, the local PC running SpecView, the system directly connected to the instrumentation, can be accessed remotely using tablets and smart phones.

Access is possible if the devices are connected to the appropriate network and meet the necessary access requirements.

 

Remote Interaction Considerations

For users who need to fully and independently view and interact with a SpecView system located elsewhere, it is essential to use SpecView's Local/Remote networking facility.

When using the SpecView's Multi-User System, remote users can engage with the project without disrupting the activities of local users.

However, when accessing the project via the Web Server, simultaneous interactions by both a local user and a remote user may lead to conflicts regarding control of the project.

This issue persists even if multiple remote users access the local project concurrently through the Web Server.
