Access

Usage
Source Type
Choose the type of interface to use when making the connection. Refer to the Supported Interfaces topic for more information.
Select Server
Choose the appropriate server from the drop-down list box. Usually, all available servers will be listed. If the desired server is not in the list, type the server name directly in the entry box (i.e., in the box that displays when the list box is closed).
Time Slice
Enter the starting and ending date and time in the various boxes. This information will be used to select the data values to associate with each tag ID name.
Attempt to Connect to Server
Check this box to connect to the server. The connection is attempted after pressing the Apply button or the OK button. The connection will not be attempted when this box is not checked.
Note: If the connection attempt fails, the most likely cause is a missing dynamic link library (DLL). You may need to install a DLL file that acts as the PRO/II (client) side of the interface to the data server. Refer to Installing Interfaces for Tag Data Historians. .
