FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Is this a hardware server or software?

It is Lookout application software for HMI/SCADA and industrial measurement and automation, not a physical server chassis.

Can Lookout communicate with third-party OPC servers?

Yes. NI documents selecting a third-party OPC server through a Lookout OPC Client driver object. Verify the requirements of the installed Lookout version and the intended OPC server.

Does server licensing automatically establish remote-client access?

Do not assume remote-client entitlement from the edition name. The Lookout 6.7.1 readme documents separate Lookout Client Connection activation for clients on other computers.

Does web monitoring imply support for current browsers?

No. NI's archived web-client documentation describes an Internet Explorer and ActiveX implementation. Confirm the browser and operating system requirements for the specific software version.
