INDI Clients
Clients are the software frontends that communicate with the hardware drivers. They usually communicate with INDI hardware drivers via INDI server, though they can communicate with the drivers directly. There are many types of clients, most notably:
- Generic GUI clients like KStars or Xephem or jINDI. Such clients generate a dynamic GUI to offer users a control panel to control the device.
- Logger clients to record messages, alarms, and data exchanged between devices and clients.
- Watch dog clients to insure safe and proper operation of devices.
- Automated scripts to carry on complex and coordinates operations on devices.

Famous quotes containing the word clients:
“...a lot of my people are models. I like that for them. I admire models, so I think that’s right for my people. ...I love it when I have an important [client]. And the pictures and awards. One of my clients has these television awards—a beautiful statue of a woman. I think it’s an Emmy. People would be lucky to get one. She has two. I think that’s great.”
—Elaine Strong (b. 1934)
