Two computers on one monitor and view both of them at the same exact time

[Adubey]

Sam, There are multiple ways to do this - depends on your interfaces and what role those computers play on the battery testers, and the software capabilities... there is a software called Nagios, using which you would write your own scripts and capture the data from each of these computers, and then collate them to represent it on a dashboard..

you may be able to take use of Copilot using which you can screen scrape the data from the computers and populate a table and then display them on screen...

these are not the only two ways as there are multiple ways of doing this.. to start with read these approaches and see if they can help you.. honestly if its just battery monitoring some bms support data via snmp..

You seem to have already solved this, but how about two HDMI/USB video capture cards ? Then open two capture windows on the target machine/display ?

Sam,
However when I read your original usecase, you can go software route of using HTML and javascript to show the twobattery monitors without disturbing any of the screens and doing delicate maneuvering of hardware approach. This way the look and feel can also be customized and you can scale up to even multiple different chargers.

Exactly how do you do this by software route and how would you hook it up to be able to use it

[Adubey]

Sam, This is possible via the hardware route where you take identical monitors and pry open the LCDs and remove the backlight and filter from one of the monitors leaving only the LCD layer and then disassemble the other monitor and insert the bare LCD from first monitor into second. You will need quite a bit of skillset to be able to do that.

To switch between screens instead of going up to the device but I also want another one for the other computer cart that I have as well and that one I do not need the remote for

[CapLeaker]

For what do you need the remote for?

I bought one of these split screen generator and it works perfectly for how I am wanting to use it when I get the computers setup with the battery testing machine I will take a picture of the monitor screen

The one I bought does not come with the remote but I going to buy another one and this time I will make sure that it comes with the remote

[SMDFlea]

I sent you a PM

[sam_sam_sam]

Back to the topic that was originally discussed

I did buy the split screen device to try it out I will post the results of testing it once I get and hook it up

[sam_sam_sam]

At least it's fixed now thanks to SMDFlea! Hopefully he can figure your why. Just think if that spam filter has too many false flag events, it keeps the mods on their toes as well with extra crap that shouldn't be happening.

Or least known what triggers this particular behavior is so maybe we avoid triggering it in the future ( but will not hold my breath for this one )

[CapLeaker]

I would have to agree with you on this one

Thanks SMDFlea for checking… I was wondering how come, since there wasn’t any to see.

The reason for getting a split screen is that would like to have only one screen on because it bad enough that I have more than one computer running because of needing to run multiple battery testing machines and all I interested in is looking at the graph for the results

The reason for running more than one computer is that yes you can have more than one battery testing machine on a single computer however its sometimes gives trouble going from one battery testing machine to the other battery testing machine and because you can not give the individual battery testing machines different names you sometimes you do not know which battery testing machine you have up on the screen but with a spit screen device you can assign a certain potion of the screen to a certain battery testing machine and then click the number a certain number and have this battery testing machine full screen then go back split screen


I want to use one 65” tv as just a monitoring device for viewing the screen because it much easier to view the graphs the bigger the screen that is the reason I asked in another post about making a smart tv a dumb tv and making not able to access the internet what so ever

no idea if you have different work spaces with windows like linux ? if so that would work .

[SMDFlea]

Huh? I don’t see any.
