Interface IMonitorGui

public interface IMonitorGui

monitor window GUI, for displaying the device's status. Implementations should also implement IMonitorGui.IContextAware, and perhaps also IExceptionHandler, if they wish to submit commands (explicit requests for certain values). A public constructor is required, optionally taking an argument of type Object, corr'ding to the constants passed to the IDi.AbstractFactory.createDi method invoked when deploying the device.
