CygNet Thin Web Client

The CygNet Thin Web Client (TWC) is CygNet Software’s browser-based Human-Machine Interface (HMI) client application, which allows users to view operational screens and workflows in a web browser using sophisticated web-based technologies. The Thin Web Client is a Single Page Application (SPA) that is built using customer provided and built screens. Those screens are constructed using the design and screen-building components of the Canvas desktop client. Canvas is used to layout HMI components onto a screen (a page of controls) and configure a logical workflow between screen controls and related screens. When published, those screens are converted and compiled into the SPA that resides on the main TWC server.
