Events could be logged to a remote database, while the Trend data can be stored locally in files using the IWS
proprietary format.

Interface
You can specify a default database that will be used unless otherwise specified.
To specify the default database:
• From the Main Menu Bar, select Project Settings, and then select the
Options Tab. Click on the Configure button in the Default Database
section.
• From the Main Menu Bar, select Project Settings, and then select the
Options Tab. In the Alarm History and Events section, select the Database
option in the History Format combo box. Click on the Alarms Database
button.
• From the Main Menu Bar, select Project Settings, and then select the
Options Tab. In the Alarm History and Events section, select the Database
option in the History Format combo box. Click on the Event Database
button.
• From the Event Settings dialog box in the Database Workspace
• In a Trend Worksheet, select the Database option in the History Format
combo box. Click on the Database Configuration button.
• In the Grid Object dialog box, select the Database option from the Data
Source combo box. Click on the Data button.
When the Database Configuration dialog box initially appears, it will likely be set to use the Primary default
database (as specified in the Default Database settings). If the Default database is used, the Alarm, Events
and Trend Tasks, as well as the Grid Object will have default table names that will be used. The default settings
are:
Item
Alarms
Events
Trend
Grid Object
Default Table Name
AlarmHistory
EventHistory
TRENDGGG
(GGG = Trend Worksheet Number
e.g.: TREND001 for the Trend
Worksheet 001)
Name of the IWS application
(without .App extension)
Of course, the default table names can be changed.
