Important Information

Volume and Energy values are frequently archived in two parts (the whole number value and the fraction). If the archive is configured to store these (or any other values) in two parts, any scaling required must be applied to both parts of the value.

The selected value for the Hourly and Daily record size must be equal or greater than the total number of bytes of data in the selected Advanced Archive Configuration object.

Sample:

If the device has 30 bytes of data in each archive, 30 will be selected as the record size.

If the device has 34 bytes of data in each archive 40 will be selected as the record size since there is not a 34 selection option.
