Web Dictionary Summary

This section describes the special server side Javascript procedures and URL handles that are built into every Guidance Controller's web server.  These special features permit Parameter Database values to be read and written by web client side.  In addition, some features are provided for retrieving special data files for the controller's Datalogger and CPU Monitor facilities.

The table below briefly summaries each of these special web server features.
