16 –@aGlance and RDT

@aGlance

RDT

PCS 7 has an @aGlance server option, called @PCS 7, that you can

install. If you were using @aGlance with OSx, the PCS 7

@aGlance server may work with your client. However, you may

have to reconfigure the client as the data you were reading from

OSx may differ in PCS 7.

There is no feature in PCS 7 that is equivalent to OSx’s RDT. If

you want to be able to upload and download from PCS 7’s data

store to a database such as Oracle on another computer, the

following possibilities exist (this list may not be all possibilities):

• Use @PCS 7 to send PCS 7 data to another computer.

• Use PCS 7’s OPC server to send PCS 7 data to another

computer and to download data to PCS 7 from another

computer.

• Write a PCS 7 action that can send PCS 7 data to another

computer and download data to PCS 7 from another

computer via ftp.

In all cases above, you would need some software on the remote

computer (script, program, database option, client, etc.) that would

take the data received and put it into the remote database and

respond to requests from PCS 7 for data from the remote database.
