SYSTEM WITH FIRST AND SECOND CONTROL DEVICES, AND METHOD FOR THE OPERATION THEREOF
First Claim
1. A method to operate a system comprising a first computer associated with an implementation workstation and a second computer associated with an observation workstation and in communication with said first computer via an electronic communication connection, comprising:
- at a site of said first computer, generating result data for a plurality of processes conducted at the site at which said first computer is located;
via said communication connection, transferring said result data from said first computer to said second computer;
at the site of said first computer, generating, for each of said processes, status information that indicates an individual status of the respective processes;
transferring said status information via said communication connection from said first computer to said second computer together with said result data; and
at said second computer, displaying said result data simultaneously with said status information and a visual indication that associates the status information with the respective process for which the status information indicates the status.
