Tucker Periscope

After many months and some long days, we’re pleased to announce the release of Periscope on 02/06/09. For those who don’t know,

The Activelogix Periscope™ is a powerful, web-based dashboard application that provides rapid identification of real-time and historical trends in key attributes of multi-facility operation, including energy use, operational efficiencies and critical metrics.

Capable of reducing volumes of data from disparate systems into visual knowledge, the Activelogix Periscope™ gives the user the ability to quickly identify issues, assess relationships and take action in rapidly changing environments in order to optimize resource efficiencies and sustainability.

In non-marketing speak, Periscope is a web-based dashboard that extends Niagara AX. Many of the Viewlets can be replicated using Niagara’s default presentation medium, PX, but Periscope enables the end-user to fully configure what historical or real-time data to visualize. It further builds on the charting abilities by bundling some energy specific trends (Demand Duration, Ranking, KPI) and allows real-time normalizations and conversions to stuff like CO2 or Dollars.

My name is Tucker Watson and I’m a software developer for Activelogix located in Charlotte, NC.  I graduated from Clemson University in May 2008 with a degree in Computer Science and have since been working on a Flex project to allow end-users to manage and monitor their facilities.

I was introduced to the HVAC world in 2005 while interning at Tridium.  I was a software tester for two summers and spent one as a software developer.  This blog will mostly revolve around Niagara AX and Flex development.
