Edit boxes in HMI software
Using edit boxes on the main pages of your HMI screens is a bad idea. It doesn't matter whether you use DAQFactory or another tool. The problem is feedback.

Features:

Networking

Email

DAQFactory supports both SMTP outgoing email and POP3 incoming email. With SMTP, you can have the system email you when there is an alarm, or email the daily logs or status once a day. With POP3, you can check and process email from within DAQFactory. You could then query your system by emailing it, having it email back requested information.

FTP

DAQFactory is an FTP client and can upload or download from any FTP server. So, you can FTP your log files to a central off-site server, or use FTP to upload screen capture images of your DAQFactory screens to your webserver without having to lower your firewall security settings.

Autodialer

DAQFactory also contains an autodialer with text to speech and tone and voice detection. This is used in with any valid TAPI compliant voice modem to allow you to call any numbers or receive calls and either playback a recorded message, or one generated on the fly using a synthesized voice. This could be used to announce alarm levels or really anything you can imagine. The autodialer also supports DTMF tone detection and voice recognition to allow the person on the phone to perform any tasks you wish, such as acknowledging an alarm, or even doing remote control. The possibilities are endless.

Web server

DAQFactory can act as a web server allowing you to view your screens remotely with any browser. DAQFactory will also serve standard HTML files, so can handle your whole website.

Remote connectivity

A remote copy of DAQFactory can connect into another copy of DAQFactory. Once connected, the remote copy can view live data and control outputs. DAQFactory can connect to multiple locations allowing you to centrally monitor multiple installations.
