Not sure. Here is an example project and the ACD file for the connection. Just update the IP Address. The ACD file is under the ProjectFiles Directory. From the main interface you can try different tag paths by pasting in the text value of the path before running the command on the button. ...

@Lopez, hope this is the correct person as it looks like this handle is owned by multiple people. Anyway, have you worked more with InfluxDB 3.x and Optix? Do you have any performance suggestions you have learned and have you had a chance to test with Optix 1.7.x to see if there are any improvement ...

@CollinAnderson, here is an older thread where I tested some items for someone with InfluxDB 3.x and Optix V1.6.x. There were some issues back then and the person I was discussing with ended up using the NuGet InfluxDB 3.x client library (InfluxDB3.Client). There is no mention in the release notes ...

Unfortunately, Influx DB 3.x, if they are using windows, it will only run in a container. I'm not too excited about Docker Linux containers as you are subject to some limitations in WSL. If this is on windows someone needs to investigate the allowed resources configuration for WSL. It may be limited ...

Yes, do not use a dynamic link. Copy the tag path and paste the actual text of the tag path. Paste your string in the string variable, Ex.: /CommDrivers/RAEtherNet_IPDriver1/RAEtherNet_IPStation1/Tags/Controller Tags/ArrayX -------------------------------------------

"Is a NuGet library the recommended way to interface with the embedded databases?" No, only mentioned it because you never know what someone is doing. But if you have a critical feature and the built in DB functions are not going to get you there you might want to evaluate using "Microsoft.Data.Sqlite" ...

Technically the limitation is the implementation of the ODBC driver if you are going through the datastore object and not using a NuGet library for direct access to the SQLite DB. Optix has a limited ODBC implementation and is not quite what you would be used to on the PC side of things. In the ...

I looked through the KB and the Change Log in FT Hub. I see nothing specific to a performance problem with the Datalogger, Datastore or InfluxDB specifically between 1.6 and 1.7 Optix releases. If this is a test system, have you tried updating to the most current firmware for OptixPanel Standard ...

May want to investigate versions to see if there are any known issues: OptixPanel Standard or Compact and Firmware version Optix Studio Version InfluxDB version on server (if 3.x it will be in a container or running on a Linux VM or bare metal Linux, this might be an issue depending on how running) ...

I seem to remember having this issue also. In the operations manual for customer I suggested they go to Windows Explorer and copy the path as text and past in a string variable I had in the configuration section of the Optix runtime application. I usually have a settings folder under the Model and put ...

@asemlucben, attached is a cleaned up version of the project. There is a PLCData directory in the ProjectFiles directory that contains the ACD file to interface with the project through Echo to test against. Also the example of the export to Excel Spreadsheet is in there too. Darren ---- ...

Yes, I have done that as the web presentation engine did not work until I added the json item to it, but that does not apply to the Native Presentation engine. In my method the JSON file would have a name like data_MyUniqueSessionName.json. I would like to have the JSON and JS file dynamically named ...

If anyone is following this, I ended up pivoting to using the NuGet Library for DocumentFormat.OpenXml by Microsoft to generate a complete Excel file on the fly with a chart object. The C# code is in the attached text file if interested. Note that it has unicode characters in it so you may want to download ...

@asemlucben, I have my user control working for the Web Presentation engine, but there does not appear to be a way to pass a query string in the native web browser object. I was hoping the Native Presentation engine Web Browser object could perform similar to the Web Presentation. In the web presentation ...
