Common Database Options
The configurator creates a Microsoft SQL Server database: The Configurator uses Universal Data Link (.udl) files to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server or a SQL Server Express database.
Only one database can be active at a time. Active databases have an icon with a green arrow ; while inactive databases have an icon with a red icon . To make a database active, right-click on the database name and select the Make Active command from the context menu.
The Make Active Command
Throughout the GENESIS64 client applications, such as GraphWorX64, TrendWorX64, and AlarmWorX64, you can use language aliases in certain data fields (e.g. process points and trend pens). To select language aliases, open the Language Aliases tab in the Unified Browser, shown in the figure below. Select a language alias from the Unified Browser, which includes all language aliases in the language alias database. This eliminates the need to manually type in the alias names. All language aliases that are configured in the Language Aliasing Configurator are conveniently available to choose from inside the browser. The tree control of the Language Aliasing Configurator is operationally identical to the tree control of the Browser.
Language aliases use the following syntax: /* language_alias_name*/. Select a language alias by double-clicking the alias name.
Aliases shown in the Global Alias Browser
Note. The FrameWorX server must be running in order for the Data Browser to correctly function. |
