LightTable-WindMil Coordination

• 1980s First Commercial Computer Programs for
  Coordination
• Limitations of graphics and file sizes
• Simplified 90 95 of coordination issues

• Checklist
• LightTable, WindMil, GIS, Outage Systems
• Device Names need to be common in all
  applications
• New Devices Electronic Relays, Auto-transfer,
  pad-mounted equipment
• Integration for these devices between GIS,
  analysis, and coordination programs more critical
  than ever.
