Re: [foxboro] Data collection software for Sun I/A

Alex Johnson of Foxboro/Houston sells a command-line UNIX program called
"Extract" that does what you want.  I don't know how much he peddles it =
for.

Mark,

Are there any scripts available to be able to generate the ASCII files?  =
I
don't use this feature often but when I do It would be nice to generate =
the
files automatically.

Thanks,

You may be able to use the historian's "Data Display" feature, which =3D
allows you to export historian data to an ASCII file.  Easy and Free!

If you can use non-realtime data to train your loop-tuning software, and =
=3D
you are using the Legacy historian..... you can export historical raw =
data =3D
to an ASCII file.  Of course, you will need to add the points you need =
if
they =3D are not in the historian already.

Config->Historian->Data_Display

You should be able to do the same with AIM historian, although I can't =
=3D
walk you through the steps.

Hey list,
We are looking for a new method to get data from our unix based I/A =3D
systems
(AW51E) for loop tuning. I am currently looking into OPC servers which =
=3D
seem to work well but require block configuration at both the OPC server =
and
=3D OPC client side. It is also very expensive. What I would like is a =
simple
application where I can type in the tags I'm interested in (typically
PID.MEAS, PID.SPT PID.OUT) and the sample rate. The application would =
=3D then
put the data in a file in ASCII format. I thought before I wrote =3D =
something
I'd see what your using.

Thanks in advance for your help.
