Processed Data

Read data from an OPC server that has been processed by the server

Historians can include the ability to process raw data in a variety of ways before returning it to you. Examples of such processing include the interpolation of data points, time averaging, and standard deviation calculations. Processing of data can be very useful when there is a large amount of data on the server. Instructing the server to return only a processed data set can greatly reduce the time and volume of data transferred.
