Abstract:
1. A method for coordinating the data update rate for a shared monitored sensed data resource amongst a plurality of different and independently executing monitoring applications, the method comprising: providing a computer having at least one processor, said processor_running the plurality of monitoring applications which provide a toggling active input of a fast mode user interface control, the toggling active input dynamically choosing a selected one of the plurality of monitoring applications to receive the shared monitored sensed data resource; detecting the toggling active input the fast mode user interface control disposed in a window in a display of the computer corresponding to the selected one of the plurality of monitoring applications, and responsive to the detecting, activating a fast mode of data acquisition exclusively for the selected one of the plurality of monitoring applications to receive the shared monitored sensed data resource and; automatic messaging others of the plurality of monitoring applications monitoring the shared monitored sensed data resource, wherein responsive to receipt of the automatic messaging the others of the plurality of monitoring applications each deactivate a fast mode of data acquisition for the shared monitored sensed data resource.
