We are wondering if anyone has experience using AIM*API with Visual Studio 6.0 to talk to AIM*Historian in the C language. We are running an off-platform historian on a Windows 2000 box. We can use the an_hist_values() function or Fh_FdbGetValues() function to retrieve floating point values from the database. However, we can't seem to find a function to read string values. Clearly it can be done using the Excel interface or OLEDB, but what about function calls from the C language? Thanks for any help you can give.
