VTS is equipped with the best integrated historical management tools in the industry.
Incredibly fast integrated data logging.
The native historical database format can efficiently manage vast amounts of process data without expensive server-level computer hardware. Log any VTS variable as required, or all of them. Easy to configure ‘deadbands’ help to reduce database size without losing relevant data.
- Log data at up to 4,000 values a second.
- Log on time or change.
- Configure logging by tag.
Protect your data with multiple synced historians.
VTS is the only monitoring & control software that supports an unlimited number of redundant, synchronized historians spread across multiple servers. Should the primary database server fail, all the application’s workstations and Internet clients automatically fail over to the next available backup database. When the primary is restored, missing historical data is automatically is restored from the backup databases.
- Sync databases across a WAN at up to 160,000 values a second.
Easily backup or share data by logging to multiple database formats.
When it comes to data logging, the VTS Historian provides the best of both worlds. Take advantage of the superior performance of the native database format. Simultaneously, log across a network to an Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL or SQLite database in a different building.
- Also share data with 3rd party reporting tools via the VTS ODBC Server.
See a continuous picture of your data.
The Integrated Historical Data Viewer (HDV) is automatically part of every VTS application. It combines historical data logs with real-time data to display a continuous picture of any number of I/O values over time.
The HDV simultaneously displays analog or digital values simultaneously as either a graph or table. Easily add or remove tags as necessary and independently adjust each one’s color and thickness. Save groups of variables for later recall. You can even configure the HDV to open with pre-loaded sets of tag values for specific periods.
Add encrypted operator notes to points on the timeline to provide context for anomalous readings (i.e. faulty sensors, or maintenance).
- Easily export any range of data to a file or database.
- See min, max, average values.
- Click multiple points on the graph to see temporary numeric labels.
- Supports logarithmic scaling.
