Raw Data |
This Query returns data as stored on a server, similar to Storage's CompressedDataStartEndTime query. In this mode, only one Tag can be retrieved at a time, also returning this value's quality |
Processed Data |
This Query returns aggregated data inside a time interval, similar to Storage's SampledData and CalculatedData queries. In this mode, several Tags can be retrieved at once, although not returning this value's quality. Several aggregation functions can be used, such as average, maximum, interpolation, etc. Different functions can be used for each Tag and one Tag can appear several times in a Query, with different aggregation functions. E3 only lists standard functions, without searching for server's specific functions or filtering functions not supported by a server. This Query may fail when selecting a function not supported by an OPC UA server |
