The Real Time Monitor

GEANT Real Time Monitor Java Web Start Application

The Real Time Monitor may be now run as a Java Web Start application. Java Web Start technology ensures that the donloaded and executed application will use up-to-date software taking into account all platform dependencies. This is especially important for the RTM which uses OpenGL native code for the 3D graphics. Please note that as in a normal (downloaded and installed) application case a suitable graphics card is required to render 3D objects properly.

To run the beta version of the Real Time Monitor for the GEANT network as a Webstart click the button below:

By clicking the button above the 3D RTM application should be automatically downloaded and executed. The system uses jar files signed by Sun and the RTM specific jar file which is temporarily signed by a self-signed test certificate. You should accept those certificates to succesfully run the application.

If you initially see no Earth at all just the sites then do not worry. The images are downloaded and cached so when you run the program next time the start-up will be quicker.
