Periscope, built on the Niagara Framework, is a user-configurable, web-based dashboard application for NiagaraAX stations that provides rapid identification of real-time and historical trends in key attributes of multi-facility operation, including energy use, operational efficiencies and critical metrics. Created using RIA tools, Periscope is the meets the diverse and changing needs of all end users, from "the boiler room to the board room."

Periscope employs a library of special purpose "viewlet" agents which can be configured "on-the-fly." Periscope can process and integrate a wide array of data feeds from both the control network and the business network as well as other sources. The ability for each user to insert, configure, and modify specific viewlets to customize their individual dashboard allows for the facility data to be presented in formats that can be utilized by the widest possible audience. A growing library of viewlets is available for additional views, analyses and special purpose applications.

Periscope is a disruptive technology that offers a flexible tool for each user to craft their views as needed for the priorities of the moment.

Periscope utilizes the NiagaraAX security model and includes a "Discovery & Mapping Wizard" to access control network data from Niagara, MODBUS, BACNet or hybrid configurations. This feature enables Periscope to be overlaid on existing building networks without modification to the underlying control logic or database.
