Using the @aGlance C old Link Functions (continued)
The GetHistStat function is not supported by OSx.
Use the
GetTags function (Figure A-15) to retrieve a list of tag names.
 ServerName field — the prefix osx must appear in front of the OSx
station name.
 MatchString field (optional) — enter a text search string. You can use
the standard wildcard * (match any) and ? (match single) characters.
 StartIndex field (optional) — enter an integer or cell reference with the
integer as the contents of the cell. The server uses the index as a
placeholder when there is more data to return than there are output
cells. The default is zero, which directs the server to return values
starting at the beginning of its database. If you use a cell reference, you
can view the entire list by p ressing
Try-it without having to enter a new
StartIndex every time.
 OutputRange field — select one or more cells to display the data
requested from OSx. A non-zero index value in the upper left corner
indicates that the server has additional data to send. Use this index
value in subsequent calls to retrieve additional tag names. To take
advantage of this feature, you must change the StartIndex field to
reference this cell (for example, B1).
