Associated with: Direct and Shared outstations for which the direct connection is available on demand rather than always online
Security permission required to access this pick action: Retrieve Data
This pick action is only available while the direct connection to an On Demand outstation is open (that is, while Geo SCADA Expert is in the process of retrieving data from, or sending controls to, the outstation).
Optionally use the Extend Connection pick action to extend the time for which the connection remains open. The time is extended by the Max Online Time from the instant that the request is executed. The Max Online Time is defined on the Outstation Form’s Direct tab (see Specify Whether the Direct Communications Connection is Always Online or only Available on Demand in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Advanced Drivers).
