RE: Legacy Historian Upgrade

And now a customer perspective... Pros of AIM*Historian: 1. You can modify it while it is running. 2. You can run it on the NT platform as well as AW51, and you can set up remote collectors on both NT and Unix platforms. 3. Much better archiving and storage tools. 4.

Well, I have tickets, hotel reservations, and I registered, but that doesn't necessarily mean I will be coming. Since I work for a large organization, the decision is ultimately not mine to make. As of now, no air travel is allowed, and from what I am hearing, air travel will be limited to

We don't have any AW70's, so I'm not sure if I can help much, but I do know a way to extract message data from AIM*AT to a text file on the AW51. In /usr/fox/disp_tools is a program called fh_sacego, which is a tool for extracting System Monitor and Operator Action Journal messages to a text

FoxView 99.2.1 trends

We just got done upgrading all of our WP's to FoxView 99.2.1. For some reason, the on-line trend configuration tool was changed in this version to add 2 more steps to the process of calling up a historical trend. In version 99.2, you right-clicked the trend, clicked on the week, day, or hour

Thanks everyone for the help with Enclosure Loading on FoxCAE. The next enhancement request for FoxCAE I have is for FoxCAE (and SysDef) to recognize all possible FBM types. We have a bunch of FBM37's, which are 8 4-20 mA analog Outputs on 1 card. Foxboro doesn't have a lot of documentation on

RE: Helpfile Viewer

I have installed Netscape Navigator for Solaris 2.5.1 on all of our WP51D's for Help file viewing. The only issue is that sometimes on FoxView, the colors get messed up if you run Netscape. If you close Netscape and restart FoxView, the colors look OK again. This is pretty typical of FoxView

FoxCAE and Foreign Device Integrator 30

2000-08-29 Thread Lowell, Tim:
Has anyone out there been successful in back-documenting a Foreign Device Integrator 30 on FoxCAE 3.02? We just installed an FD30, and I tried to back-document it, and FoxCAE gave me an Invalid Letterbug error. I looked through the CAR database, and didn't see anything that said you couldn't

I know this is a pretty obscure one, but I just thought I'd mention it, in case anyone is buying WP51D's with dual monitors: The Sony monitors supplied with a dual monitor installation on WP51D's come with RGB type connectors. These RBG connectors have 5 plugs: Red, Green, Blue, Horizontal
