Abstract

We report on a visual programming environment designed to make and execute programs using already existing procedures written in some third generation language. The utilization of a client/server model combined with the dataflow principle makes this visual programming environment capable of networkwide operations. This feature can be used to elegantly incorporate dedicated hardware like data-acquisition devices and/or number crunchers into one visual program. The combination of these features offers interesting possibilities in the field of e.g. parallel processing and data-acquisition combined with number crunching thus making this tool very apt for the physics community.
