This book was developed around the concept of using SCADA software systems to monitor and control scientific experiments. Many experimental systems are monitored in real-time, often through a visual graphic representation of the experiment called a human-machine interface (HMI).

An HMI allows for operator observation and possible intervention in the experiment. Unmonitored experiments conducted in very short or lengthy time scales, isolated or remote locations, or under unique conditions ...
