It also makes Prilog very fast because it directly accesses the disk and does not have to access a database layer to read write its data Prilog data may also be mirrored to other physical locations to ensure availability of the data in case of a disaster The data file is in a proprietary format and difficult for unauthorized persons to modify When Prilog is running it is impossible to modify it by other programs or delete it This increases the security The Prilog writer is configured at installation then left running without any user interface Normally the program should be run minimized because there are few user functions in this program Several Prilog programs can run simultaneously allowing unlimited number of channels at each computer 1 2 Prilog reader viewer This is the user program It lets the user inspect search list analyze export and print Prilog data It can connect to a local Prilog installation on the same physical computer or a remote Prilog in the network Several programs can run simultaneously for viewing different channels Each program connects to one Prilog writer at a time but a hot switching capability exist so that one can quickly open other channels Hoglund Marine Automasjon AS Page 6 of 83 Prilog Version 6 97 User manual 2 History contact copyrights and credits Prilog was first created to replace alarm printers This product has over the years solved many problems all over
