Getting Started with NiagaraAX Mobile

In NiagaraAX-3.7 and 3.8, mobile applications (apps) are supported and included in the NiagaraAX Framework. These apps and the supporting NiagaraAX environment are designed to work with modern browsers on a personal computer, a mobile phone, and other hand-held devices.

A NiagaraAX app is similar to a NiagaraAX “service” except that apps bring more capabilities to the Framework. With the current popularity of apps and handheld devices in the market, most users understand the app concept and are comfortable using apps. In NiagaraAX, the app provides a focus or center point for a specific set of tasks and functions that are grouped together to address a single objective. The app may use other services and drivers, but the app itself is clearly identified by the common set of functions that it performs or views that it provides for doing a particular job.
