Retrieving data using the CS-Studio

+ +

CS-Studio 4.X onwards comes with support for the EPICS Archiver Appliance as a data source for the databrowser.

+ +
Configuring CS-Studio
+CS-Studio communicates with the appliance using the PB/HTTP protocol. +The databrowser can be configured to use the appliance by including the client retrieval URL to the list of Archive data servers. +From the top menu select Edit Preferences CSS Applications Trends +
    +
  • Add the archiver appliance URL to the set of Archive Data Server URL's +
      +
    • This URL is generated by replacing the string http with the string pbraw in the data_retrieval_url element of your appliances.xml and looks like so pbraw://archiver.slac.stanford.edu/retrieval.
      • +
    +
    • +
+Example: +
+Connecting using pbraw +
+ +Once the URL has been added to the preferences, the archiver appliance can be used in the databrowser like any other data source. +Users can search the archive for PV’s, retrieve data and plot it, etc. + +
