0 - Only Data-Objects defined in the file “_doarch.dbf” are archived.
1 - All Data-Objects are archived.

Example

[DoArch]
AllObjsHaveArchive=1
					

Writing of values to the archive is done event-based i.e. only if a the value changes a new record is written in the archive. For large projects with many data objects which change often it is useful to restrict the amount of data written to the archive via the SampleInt option. Due to the event-based nature of the archive the temporal distance between two records is not fixed but depends on the time when the value changes. A sampling interval of 0 means that every value is written to the archive but the time precision is 1 second.

Example

[DoArch]
SampleInt=0
					

The threshold for value changes when using the AllObjs HaveArchive-option. If AllObjsHaveArchive=0 then each data object has it's own threshold. As long as the difference between two values does not exceed the threshold the new value will not be written to the archive. For large projects with many data objects which change often it is useful to restrict the amount of data written to the archive via the Threshold option.

Example

[DoArch]
Threshold=2.2
					

Defines, whether the Data Object Typ is to be archived.
1=yes
0=no

NN stays for:
