Ulrich, You first have to set-up your AIM* historian instance to generate reduction files. This is done by setting the following instance attributes: REDUCLEVEL = 1 USEREDFILES = YES Setting USEREDFILES = YES enables the use of the reduction files by the extraction functions. You also have to configure these instance attributes: PCTVALID REDUCPHASE REDPHASEUNIT SCANPEAKS REDFASTUNIT REDMEDUNIT REDSLOWUNIT REDFASTINT REDMEDINT REDSLOWINT Regards, Sylvain.
