Scalability
Acquire can produce a HMI system for any size project, from small local systems managing a handful of flow computers to large, distributed, redundant systems handling many flow computers.
Local HMI
Acquire can run as a single user server on a standard PC. The Acquire application will provide the local HMI and will also retrieve real time data and reports from the flow computers.
Multi User HMI
The web server technology built into Acquire recreated the entire local interface in a web browser environment, allowing multiple users to simultaneously gain access to the system.
These users can be anywhere on the corporate intranet or even anywhere in the world. Acquire's built in security ensures only authorised users can access the system.
Redundant HMI
Acquire can provide the highest level of resilience. Every component can be duplicated to offer redundancy at every level.

Distributed HMI
Multiple Acquire systems at different sites can easily be linked together to form a large distributed network. Users at one site can access stations on other remote Acquire servers.
Multiple Flow computers
A single Acquire server can support up to 24 flow computers. It will allow up to 24 stations, with up to 8 streams on a station and a maximum of 96 metering streams. If there are more flow computers on the system, then more Acquire servers can be introduced to provide a distributed system.
