Has anyone succeeded in pulling long term historical message data from
the AIM Historian using ODBC. We were told in AIM class we could, but
when we tried it all we get is the last hour or so of alarm message
data. What we are looking for is older alarm message data stored in the
mxxx.fdb files.

Thanks,

I'm not at my computer now. but I have done this using both excel and
access.  Use ODBC to pull the table in.  Iwill get my computer and give
more specific indtructions tomorrow.

Subject: [foxboro] Documenting AIM Historian Database

Has anyone found a good way to dump a AIM Historian database and convert
it into an Excel spreadsheet so we can document the historian points by
name, type, description, hscale, lscale, engunits and delta?  I would
like
to find out what points are in an existing historian and need a way to
easily sort this information out.
Thanks,
Jim Kahlden
