DSC Settings: Database Page

Requires: DSC Module

Use this page of the Project Library Properties dialog box to enable and configure datalogging and alarms and events logging for a LabVIEW project library.

This page includes the following components:

• Enable Data Logging—Configures the project library to log data to the Citadel database.
• Log to computer—Specifies the name of the computer where the database resides. The default is localhost.
• Browse—Displays the Browse Computer dialog box, which you can use to select a computer from the network.
• Database name—Specifies the name of the database where the LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control (DSC) Module logs data.
• Browse—Displays the Browse Database dialog box, which you can use to navigate to a database.
• Database path—Specifies the file path to the database where the DSC Module logs data.
• Browse—Displays the Open dialog box, which you can use to select the path of the database.
• Data Lifespan—Specifies the length of time, in days, that the data the DSC Module logs is available.
  • Data always available—Specifies that logged data is always available in the database.
  • Data available for N days—Specifies the number of days that Citadel database stores the logged data. After the specified number of days, the DSC Module might remove the logged data.
• Enable Alarms and Events Logging—Configures the DSC Module to log alarms and events to the Citadel database.
• Use the same database for alarms and events—Configures the DSC Module to use the same database for alarms and events logging as the database for data logging. If you place a checkmark in the Use the same database for alarms and events checkbox, the DSC Module ignores the other alarms and events database options.
• Log alarms and events to computer—Specifies the name of the computer where the database resides. The default is localhost. Click the Browse button to select a computer on a network.
• Browse—Displays the Browse Computer dialog box, which you can use to select a computer from the network.
• Alarms and events database name—Specifies the name of the database where the DSC Module logs alarms and events data.
• Browse—Displays the Browse Database dialog box, which you can use to navigate to a database.
• Alarms and events database path—Specifies the file path to the database where the DSC Module logs alarms and events.
• Browse—Displays the Open dialog box, which you can use to select the path of the database.
