The following eDNA fields require the Geo SCADA Expert values to be processed before they are exported:
eDNA Point Id only allows 8 characters to be stored. The Geo SCADA Expert Id values are processed in one of 3 ways depending on their value.
where the Geo SCADA Expert value is:
- less than or equal to 99999999, then it is encoded as an 8 character decimal number.
- greater than 99999999 and less than or equal to 268435455, then it is encoded as a 7 character hexadecimal number string prefixed with an x, for example 248563456 becomes xED0C700.
- greater than 268435455 it is converted to base64.
All three conversions produce a unique Id value.
The description is obtained from the text to the right of the rightmost period "." of the Alarm Source field. In Format 1 if there is no entry for alarm source the field will remain empty. In Format 2 this field should contain the description, however, if there is no entry in the field the object name is inserted.
eDNA Point Type receives the following:
For all analog point types, VT-R4, VT_R8 and VT_I4, the text "AI" is substituted.
For all digital point types the text "MS"
The default value is a null value.
This process is only applied in Format 2. If the Alarm Source contains a Long Id, it is included. If there is no Long Id, the Full Name is inserted.
