Periscope Prerequisites

  • Periscope must run on a Niagara4 station, version 4.0 or higher.  It is recommended that Periscope run on a Niagara Web Supervisor or SoftJACE due to increased storage capacity and speed but it can also run on any Niagara4 compatible JACE.
  • Any station running Periscope must have at least 6MB available.
  • Periscope is a web application and requires a modern browser. Officially supported browsers include IE10+ as well as the latest versions of Chrome and Firefox.

Periscope will soon support SkySpark in addition to Niagara4.

Installing Periscope

Saving and stopping your station:

  •  Open your Platform and access the Application Director
  • Save your running station (Save Bog)
  • Stop the station (Stop)

* The menu shown is located on the right side of the Application Director window

• Close Workbench

Installing Periscope JAR file

  • Using Windows Explorer, navigate to your current build of Niagara
  • Place the periscope-rt.jar file in the modules folder under your Niagara build
  • Place your Periscope license file in the licenses folder under your Niagara build

Installing License File

The license file provided is not a normal Niagara license and needs to be installed separately.  The license needs to be installed in:

  • {STATION_HOME}/shared/periscope

 For example, on my local machine this is: C:\Niagara\Niagara-4.2.36.20\stations\demo\shared\periscope.  

The "periscope" folder should be created if it does not already exist in your station shared folder.

Adding the Periscope Service in Niagara4

  • Open Workbench, reopen your Platform and access the Application Director
  • Start the station
  • Open the periscope palette
  • Drag and drop the PeriscopeService from the pallete into your station's Services
  • After which, Periscope installation will be complete and you may open Periscope by going to http:/(IP address of the Web Supervisor/JACE)/periscope
