Starting the MenuDAQ application from the CPPM server.

Out of three possibilities (Applet, Application, Webstart), the Java Web Start Method has been retained as the optimal startup for newcomers and casual users. Experts please refer to the CaloDAQ Homepage at DESY. The runtime environemnt of J2SE 1.3 or higher or a complient environment must be installed on your computer for that.

You can launch the menudaq application directly from your browser (also outside DESY and CPPM) if the Java Web Start is installed on your machine.
Java Web Start is installed at DESY. If it is not installed centrally on your machine, you need to install it personnally from your local Java installation, which is quite easy, if you :

Find the file javaws-*.zip file in your Java directory (which java, typically in the subdirectory jre/).
Copy it to your directory and extract it (unzip).
Execute the install.sh file. (Just type ./install.sh.)
Eventually close your browser. Then open your browser.
Get back to this page and click on the pointer () above.

If your Java version is older, then you need to download it from the Java Web Start page at Sun.Com.
