Intro and History
As of this year (2006), Supravision is probably the most widely used software package used in the tube-fabrication industry. Supravision was designed by Homer Eaton and Foad Rekabi of ROMER back in the '80s. It originally began as a DOS program, then migrated to Windows. When it was redesigned for Windows, Foad decided to keep the DOS SV look and feel in the Windows version.
Supravision Network Protocol
Both the DOS and Windows versions of Supravision use several protocols. The most prominent is Supravision Network protocol. We commonly refer to this protocol as "SVNET." (We pronounce it "Ess"-"Vee"-"Net.") If you ever hear an Advanced Tubular employee use this term, you will know that we are referring top the Supravision Network Protocol.
