AMI Center 5: Timers and Realtime Visualizations

This fifth tutorial in the series we will be comparing static and realtime visualizations. Starting by creating a table in AMI DB and using that to create first a datamodel and a static visualization, we will then create a realtime visualization from the same tables realtime feed. The two visualizations will be used to help explain the difference between a static/datamodel approach compared to a realtime feed approach, highlighting how AMI works internally in both cases. Next, we will introduce timers, an AMI Center concept that allows periodic or scheduled execution of AMI Script, and two timers will be created that modify that data stored in an AMI DB table. Finally, we will configure both realtime and static tables to remain in sync with the underlying data at the same rate, 10 times a second, and explore what this means for the amount of data being transferred.
