Stan,
What platform does the PI System run on? If the PI System runs on a
different box such as a DEC Alpha and it interfaces to the FOXBORO I/A using
FoxAPI the startup procedure has to open sets using FoxAPI before data can
be collected on the PI System. Is this a new installation or is has it been
running before? The aistst is the older version of FoxAPI Test Program on
version 4.* that has been replaced by foxtst on version 6.*. This program
allows you to check for proper set operation and data values. This program
is located in /opt/fox/ais/bin. The menu allows you to view several
options. Option 913 shows the set values.
The .h files have to be included in the interface control program that open
the sets for communications to the PI System.
Thanks,
Daryl Reynolds

Subject: Foxboro's "API"
I'm fighting the battle of getting Oil Systems PI, to properly start up on
system boot.
This product interfaces to Foxboro using Foxboro's "API" , I have been
readeing the docs on this, and am pretty puzzled. The dpc's talk about
things like aiststs, and /opt/fox/ais/include .h files, and libraries to
link inot your application.
Now on our machines, I can only find a bind directory under /opt/fox/ais,
and it does not contain for isntance aistst.
So, the question is, can this be purcahsed in avrous "levles", such as a
run time only package to use with PI, and a "developer's" package with all
teh bells and whisltes?
Or has it just somehow failed to be properly installed on our machies?
