The data collection mechanism is different. InSQL on top of an I/A Series system uses the IDAS mechanism which usually implemented using AIM*OPC DA Server to feed the data. InFusion Historian uses a AW70 running the InFusion Application Environment which in turn hosts a Historian (Data Collector) Object which gets its data from the I/A Series DI Object and I/A Series DA Server. AIM*API is not used in this approach. Re: InFusion Historian InFusion Historian does not collect alarm messages and does not support the FoxView Alarm Historian Display. You need AIM*Historian for that. My understanding is that the latest pricing for InFusion Historian includes AIM*Historian as a message collector; however, I may be incorrect - check with your Client Sales Executive (acct rep). Re: QF to link FoxView Trends to InFusion Historian The QF is QF1009277. I don't know if it will work with "generic" InSQL, but I expect that it would.
