| 3 | | It was decided to create the new service as a BASE extension, allowing for it to be simply installed from a single JAR file plus configuration file using the BASE extension installation mechanism, available through BASE menu "Extensions -> Install plug-ins/extensions...". After installation, the "Extensions" menu will have a new menu item "Lab Environment", with a number of sub-menus. Creating the service as a BASE extension also has the benefit of keeping the code encapsulated, and allowing it to be installed only at BASE servers, that can take advantage of it (i.e. is connected to !ThermoWorks Thermo Recoder TR-702W sensors). |
