Status information
GateOPC Configurator consists of three separate software functions. The role of each
function within the configurator is as follows:
• Environment Setting Functions
These functions allow the user to enter various settings required by the executable
function for communications with OPC servers, as well as those required for data
transfers to and from DAQLOGGER and Remote Monitor. The user can also use
the environment setting functions to start/stop the executable function, or view the
execution status.
• Executable Function
The function reads data from OPC servers at xed intervals. Up to 16 OPC servers
can be linked. It also acts as a monitor server, transferring data to DAQLOGGER and
Remote Monitor.
• Status Display Function
The execution status of the executable software can be displayed, as well as the
connection status of DAQLOGGER and Remote Monitor.
