- SCADAview has come a long way, here is a brief history:
XENIX (1985)
Prior to the DOS version we attempted to have someone write a central control program using the XENIX operating system). Not much is known about this... and it didn't work.
DOS Version 1 (1986)
"Function keys version"
Central card rack CTU5/CTU6
SCADA or HMI was not a term used yet - we just called it "Haynes Central Control" software
Written using Microsoft BASIC.
DOS Version 3 (1987-1990)
First graphic system using Dr. Halo to draw the screens
Central card rack CTU5/CTU6
DOS Version 4-5 (1989-1999)

(up to 6 based on special central code written for Web Water Development, SD)

Graphics screen example:
