What is Archiving?
Archiving is the ability to collect specific events as they occur. This data can later be used to
keep past records of alarm conditions, flow readings, tank levels, or anything that can be
monitored.
While the dialer is monitoring events in the field, archiving can be used to take out the guess
work of what is actually happening, even when there isn’t anyone at the sight monitoring how the
system is actually working. A past history of events will be recorded by the dialer and can later
be transferred to MicroWin 2000EX. Once in MicroWin 2000EX, the data can be reviewed,
printed, etc.
What is an Archive?
An archive is a recorded event that has previously occurred. Each archive is time stamped and
stored along with pertinent information to tell what caused the event. All channel events contain
the channel’s current status to show what the current monitored condition was when the archive
event took place.
