1. Archive Completed Folder: The Archive folder for files that have succeeded with at least one request.
2. Archive Failed Folder: The Archive folder for the files that have failed to create any requests.
3. Field Delimiter: The field delimiter used in the file. The default setting is (,).  Valid delimeters are: comma (,), tab (\t), pipe (|) and semi-colon ( ;)
4. Field Mapping: The column mapping scheme used to read values from each file line into a predetermined GC Write Request field. By default: GCIDENTIFIER,ARGON,CO,CO2,ETHANE,H2,H2O,H2S,HELIUM,IBUTANE,IPENTANE,METHANE,N2,NBUTANE,NDECANE,NEOPENTANE,NHEPTANE,NHEXANE,NNONANE,NOCTANE,NPENTANE,O2,PROPANE,HEATINGVALUE,SPECIFICGRAVITY
5. Has Column Headers: Set to true if the first row of the file contains column headers. The default setting is True. To change this setting, select the cell marked “True” and use the drop-down menu.
6. Import Folder: The import folder for new files to be processed.
7. Meter Resolution Mode: Resolves the meters in ACM by RecordField or FileName. The default setting is RecordField. To change this setting select the cell marked RecordsField and type in FileName.
8. Validation Tolerance: The value +/- of the mole component total used to create a tolerance window. 100 would let any sum validate. The default setting is 100.

1. Exclude Non-External: Use the External GC Reference or External Meter Reference properties to find the correct meter name and device. The default setting is False. To change this setting, select the cell marked “False” and use the drop-down menu.
2. Fail Orphaned Requests: Any gas analysis writes that occur during a server shutdown will be marked as “failed”. The default setting is False. To change this setting, select the cell marked “False” and use the drop-down menu.
3. FlowCal Area Index: Use this setting to associate ACM with one or more specific measurement areas in your FlowCal system. The default setting is empty - which means ACM will handle all measurement areas. To limit ACM to a specific measurement area, enter the integer value of the measurement area index. You can also enter multiple integer values separated by commas to make ACM handle a specific set of measurement areas. For example, enter "1,3,4" (without quotes) to make ACM handle requests from measurement areas 1, 3, and 4.
4. Max Concurrent Writes: The maximum number of gas analysis writes that can be queued simultaneously. The default setting is 25. To change this setting, select the cell with the numerical value and use keyboard input.
5. Request Service Interval Timer: The interval time (in seconds) for the asiGCRequestManager service to process requests. Default is 30. Changes require a restart of the service.
6. Trace Logging: This enables logging of gas analysis related progress messages. The default setting is False. To change this setting, select the cell marked “False” and use the drop-down menu.

1. Archive Schedule: This enables users to configure when the Archive Manager process runs.
   1. Do not run automatically:  The archive process will only run if triggered to run manually. 
   2. Run every hour at # minutes past the hour:  If 55 is entered for minutes, the archive process will run at 1:55, 2:55, 3:55 and so on.
   3. Run once a day at entered time
2. Detail Logging: This option allows users to show logging messages for starting and completing calls through the Report Service, such as, Archive Management and Scheduled Reports.

Server

The following settings associated with Server can be modified by users:

1. Data Path: This points to the folder used for data file storage; includes View filters and RTU configuration files. The default data path is: C:\ProgramData\AutoSol\Communication Manager\7\DataFiles
2. Dot Naming: This option allows “Object.Item” naming syntax. Otherwise, “[Object]Item” syntax must be used. The default value is True.

3. Keep Meter Record History: This option provides the ability to turn off meter configuration record historization. Leave at the default value True to continue historizing meter records.  

   Info
   title Important!
   Only change Keep Meter Record History to false if you do not want to keep any meter configuration history.

   
   

4. Log Startup Config: This option allows users to log all configuration properties during server startup. The default setting is False.

   Info
   title Important!
   Enabling Log Startup Config may slow down the startup process.

   
   

5. OPC Trace: OPC trace information between clients and server is possible when this option is enabled. The default setting is False

   Info
   title Important!
   Enabling OPC Trace may produce large log files and add significant overhead to the server.

   
   

6. SQLTimeout – Bulk Insert: This is the maximum time, in seconds, allowed for a SQL command to complete. The default value is 60.
7. SQLTimeout – Publisher Commands: This is the maximum time, in seconds, allowed for a Publisher SQL command to complete. The default value is 60.
8. SQLTimeout – Report Commands: This is the maximum time, in seconds, allowed for a Report SQL command to complete. The default value is 60.
9. UniqueNamesWithinType: Enabling this option forces unique object names within each object type. The default setting is False.
10. UseCacheForDeviceReads: This property is not visible in the Server properties list. It controls how ACM provides data to OPC clients that request a read from field devices. The default setting is False, which makes ACM follow the OPC specification for data updates. If OPC clients request a read from field devices while this setting is True, ACM will update OPC clients with data from its internal cache instead of polling field devices for data. Contact technical support if you believe this alternate behavior will benefit your application.

Service Ports

The TCP ports used for communication between the ACM Configuration client and the server components can be configured in the Service Ports section. If another application on the computer is already using one of these ports, the associated service will not be able start successfully. The port numbers to use can be modified in this section:
