How to use the Custom Archive (bit 16)?

[Andi]

Hello,

While learning Rapid SCADA, I noticed that the Archive Mask dialog contains bit 16: Custom archive.

I checked my ScadaServerConfig.xml, but it only contains the standard archives:

-Current
-Minute
-Hour
-Day
-Events
-Current Copy
-Minute Copy
-Hour Copy
-Day Copy
-Event Copy

There is no archive with code “Custom”, and searching the configuration for the word “Custom” returns no results.

Therefore I would like to understand:

1. What is the purpose of the Custom Archive bit?

2. How can a custom archive be defined?

3. Can a custom archive use a different writing interval (for example every 10 seconds or every 30 seconds)?

4. Is there any documentation or example available?

Thank you very much for your help!

Step 1 – Create an archive in Instances – Default – Server – Archives
Step 2 – add the created archive with the bit indication to the secondary table

WritingPeriod – The recording period starts from 1 second

Hello,

To push users create new custom archives with ID >= 101 and bit >= 16.

> Can a custom archive use a different writing interval
Sure.

> Is there any documentation or example available?
Use the existing archives as examples. Post screenshots on the forum if new archives don’t work.

Thank you both for your quick and helpful answers. They helped me understand the concept of custom archives much better. I really appreciate your support and the time you took to answer my questions.
