10.1.3         Differences between DRAW and DrawDAQ

The DRAW program runs in a Web Browser and is essentially the same as the DrawDAQ version. The minor differences include:

1.      Only DrawDAQ can browse subdirectories on the local hard drive.  The Web-browser based DRAW does not allow users to brows subdirectories or browse to a higher-level directory.  This is a concession to security of the SCADA node by web browser based users to limit them only to the sub-directories specified.

2.      DrawDAQ does not have the upload files feature that DRAW uses.  In DRAW, this upload allows remote clients to upload graphics from the client to a remote SCADA node. DrawDAQ only accesses the local SCADA node and its hard drive.

3.      DRAW, the web browser version, uses a "Right-Click" menu to access many tools including Edit Menu and Dynamic Animation Menu.

4.  DrawDAQ, on the project node, uses the traditional Windows menu bar for Animation tools.  DrawDAQ uses the menu bar to replace the DRAW Right Right-Click" menu. Their is a different set of commands if you right click in DrawDAQ.
