Displaying numeric data for a scientific application
I am currently building an application that retrieves data from a scientific instrument for display. The data is time dependent and is updated every second. The data will be displayed over several pages/tabs, but I would like a snapshot overview of the current data on a single page (this is usually what is desired by the end users - i.e. scientists). The data is returned from the server as a json packet and looks like
{
"Temperatures": {
"Condenser": -0.0048828125,
"Saturator": -0.0048828125,
"HK0": 0,
"HK1": -0.0048828125
},
"LaserRefV": 0,
"Heater": {
"SetMon": 0,
"ActMon": 0
},
"Cooler": {
"SetMon": -0.0048828125,
"ActMon": 0
},
"CPC_Count": 0,
"Total": {
"Pressure": 0,
"Temperature": 0,
"Q": 0,
"Q0": 0,
"Qsp": 0
},
"Aerosol": {
"Pressure": 0,
"Temperature": 0,
"Q": 0,
"Q0": 0,
"Qsp": 0
},
"Transport": {
"Pressure": 0,
"Temperature": 0,
"Q": 0,
"Q0": 0,
"Qsp": 0
},
"EventTimers": [],
"deadTime": 0,
"cpcConc": 0
}
Does anyone have any thoughts on how to display this data? A table maybe? Individual numeric inputs?
