If they are using AIM*Historian, there is a scriptable version of the
Data Display HMI that you can use. It will return only 8 tags at a time,
but you can invoke it from a script for as many tags as you want.

You can see the full list of command line arguments by running
histdisp.exe without any arguments.

I'll send you a screen capture off list, but here's an example:

histdisp.exe -NM=3D"Example Report" \
-T1=3D"TRENDVARS:FIC3915.PNT" -H1=3Dhist01 -S1=3D01AW01 \
-T2=3D"TRENDVARS:LIC3901.PNT" -H2=3Dhist01 -S2=3D01AW01 \
-T3=3D"TRENDVARS:PIR3922.PNT" -H3=3Dhist01 -S3=3D01AW01 \
-T4=3D"TRENDVARS:TIC3908.PNT" -H4=3Dhist01 -S4=3D01AW01 \
-SD=3D"03/03/2005" -SH=3D14 -SM=3D00 \
-TS=3D"6 hrs" -IT=3D"30 mins" -DT=3Dlinear \
-OF=3D"ReportOutput.txt"

Subject: [foxboro] Scripts for getting historical data from FOXBORO

Hi Guys,
Please save me from spending lot of time to pull out the historical data
from the FOXBORO DCS as we need it for basecase for a PID tuning
project.
Our client do not have the DataLink software. Client suggested us to
pull
data from traditional tool to pull data up to 1200 samples at a time and
for
only 8 tags at a time. This way we need to spend about a week to pull
the
data that we need. I heard that there are some sripts/utilities to get
the
historical data pulled out into ascii file. please suggest me any of
such a
script or utility

Thanks
K.V. Siva Rama Brahmam
