Overview - Brief Description of Feature

The Insight UI is a full-screen desktop appllication for Windows which was developed to demonstrate InSight's capabilities.  It is targeted toward a central-site support user that needs to connect to one of multiple possible stores and probe what is going on with the POS controller/servers or terminals.
