Differences between RSView32 and ControlView

C–5
Data log
You cannot import ControlView data log models into RSView32.
In RSView32, data log files are not stored in a circular file set. Instead,
you configure when to create and delete files. Information in the data
log file is stored in .dbf (dBase IV) file format or in ODBC storage
format. You can access the information in the .dbf file with any third–
party software that reads .dbf, such as Microsoft Excel, Crystal
Reports, and Visual FoxPro, or store the data in any ODBC-compliant
database.
Derived tags
You can import ControlView derived tag files into RSView32.
In RSView32, derived tags are processed on exception, not
sequentially. Therefore, do not create derived tags that depend on the
results of other derived tags, because they might not produce the
desired results.
You can store the result of a derived tag calculation in any tag, not just
a memory (local) tag.
The number of derived tag files is limited only by memory and disk
space. Each derived tag file can contain up to 1,000 derived tags as
compared to ControlView’s limit of 300 derived tags. You can run up
to 20 derived tag files simultaneously.
Events
You can import ControlView event files into RSView32.
In RSView32, events are processed on exception, not sequentially.
Therefore, do not create events that depend on the results of other
events, because they might not produce the desired results.
