Re: [foxboro] Viewing AIM*Historian string data

Joseph,

It seems we had a similar problem and the solution was to make the
string width (in AIM*) 256 instead of a width of 12, which was our
maximum string width.

Not sure if that is your problem but give it a try.

Subject: [foxboro] Viewing AIM*Historian string data

Folks,
This seemed simple enough when I started...  I added string data (IND
blocks, SN0010, etc.) to the AIM*Historian but I cannot view this data
via
Data Link or the Historian Browser.  I get "No Data Available".  I can
get
my regular data, just not string data this way. =20

One of the engineers just needs to view string data.  All my searching
on
the Foxboro and Freelists archive only mention more complicated ways of
getting this data than what we need.

I know string data has had its limitations in the past (legacy
Historian,
etc.), but I thought that was behind us with AIM*Historian.  Should I be
I
be able to view string values using Data Link or the Historian Browser?

Thanks.
