Samples

This page presents a collection of models and simulations. They will all run on your browser if it is "java and javascript aware." Samples are listed under three categories: Java, Java with JavaScript and JavaScript 1.1. The newest models are presented first.

Java

The Process Control Tutorial gives you hands-on experience with process control equipment.

The Home Heating Model demonstrates a system that is familiar to most people. Did you ever think of a thermostat as an on/off temperature controller? Well, it is! Here's an opportunity to really test it out and you won't upset your house companions (at least not temperature-wise).

The WaveForm Generator is just a fun little applet that superimposes two waves. The scrolling trend display moves right along, even on a four-eighty-six.

Java plus JavaScript

The simulation part of Sine Waves and Cosine Waves are written in JavaScript. The display elements (i.e. the bargraphs and the scrolling plots) are written in java. This configuration takes advantage of the interpretive nature of JavaScript for building the models and the ability of java to do things that just can't be done with HTML or JavaScript.

JavaScript 1.1

The Tic Tac Toe Simulation is written entirely in JavaScript 1.1. As you'll see, JavaScript is quite powerful. It is easy to learn and it can greatly enhance any HTML document.

NOTE: Internet Explorer 3.0 cannot play the Tic Tac Toe Simulation. You will need Navigator 3.0 or Internet Explorer 4.0.
