Two computers on one monitor and view both of them at the same exact time

Back to the topic that was originally discussed

I did buy the split screen device to try it out I will post the results of testing it once I get and hook it up

I bought one of these split screen generator and it works perfectly for how I am wanting to use it when I get the computers setup with the battery testing machine I will take a picture of the monitor screen

The one I bought does not come with the remote but I going to buy another one and this time I will make sure that it comes with the remote

For what do you need the remote for?

[sam_sam_sam]

To switch between screens instead of going up to the device but I also want another one for the other computer cart that I have as well and that one I do not need the remote for

Sam, This is possible via the hardware route where you take identical monitors and pry open the LCDs and remove the backlight and filter from one of the monitors leaving only the LCD layer and then disassemble the other monitor and insert the bare LCD from first monitor into second. You will need quite a bit of skillset to be able to do that.

However when I read your original usecase, you can go software route of using HTML and javascript to show the twobattery monitors without disturbing any of the screens and doing delicate maneuvering of hardware approach. This way the look and feel can also be customized and you can scale up to even multiple different chargers.

Exactly how do you do this by software route and how would you hook it up to be able to use it

You seem to have already solved this, but how about two HDMI/USB video capture cards ? Then open two capture windows on the target machine/display ?

Sam, There are multiple ways to do this - depends on your interfaces and what role those computers play on the battery testers, and the software capabilities... there is a software called Nagios, using which you would write your own scripts and capture the data from each of these computers, and then collate them to represent it on a dashboard..

you may be able to take use of Copilot using which you can screen scrape the data from the computers and populate a table and then display them on screen...

these are not the only two ways as there are multiple ways of doing this.. to start with read these approaches and see if they can help you.. honestly if its just battery monitoring some bms support data via snmp..
