9. Build input tags and, if desired, output tags for this Interface. Important point
attributes and their use are:
Location1 specifies the interface instance ID
Location2 specifies for timestamp adjustment.
Location3 specifies for configuring interface status events.
Location4 specifies the scan class.
Location5 sets the write mode of archived data on the receiving Historian Server.
InstrumentTag specifies the name of the Source Tag from the Source Historian
Server.
ExDesc is an alternative way to specify the Source Tag. This can be specified with
STAG=<tagname> .
UserInt1 defines Source Tag point ID instead of using source tag name.
10. Start the interface interactively and confirm its successful connection to the Historian
Server without buffering.
11. Confirm that the interface collects data successfully.
12. Stop the interface and configure a buffering application (either Bufserv or PIBufss).
When configuring buffering use the ICU menu item Tools  Buffering… 
Buffering Settings to make a change to the default value (32678) for the Primary and
Secondary Memory Buffer Size (Bytes) to 2000000. This will optimize the
throughput for buffering and is recommended by OSIsoft.
13. Start the buffering application and the interface. Confirm that the interface works
together with the buffering application by either physically removing the connection
between the interface node and the Historian Server Node or by stopping the
Historian Server.
14. Configure the interface to run as a Service. Confirm that the interface runs properly
as a Service.
15. Restart the interface node and confirm that the interface and the buffering application
restart.
