To configure the Dynacard Storage properties, you need to display the Dynacard Store Form (see Display a Form). The Form has several tabs. This section describes the fields on the Dynacard Storage tab. The other tabs on the Form are common to many database items—see Tabs that are Common to Many Configuration Forms.
Use the fields on the Dynacard Storage tab to configure these properties:
Use to specify whether the Dynacard Store is active or inactive (see Placing an Item In Service).
Specify the number of ‘Stored’ dynacards for which Geo SCADA Expert is to retain the data online. Once this limit is reached, Geo SCADA Expert automatically discards the oldest set of ‘Stored’ dynacard data whenever it uploads a further set of ‘Stored’ dynacard data.
‘Stored’ dynacards record the dynamometer data for the most recent pump strokes.
Specify the number of ‘Shutdown’ dynacards for which Geo SCADA Expert is to retain the data online. Once this limit is reached, Geo SCADA Expert automatically discards the oldest set of ‘Shutdown’ dynacard data whenever it uploads a further set of ‘Shutdown’ dynacard data.
‘Shutdown’ dynacards contain the dynamometer data that was recorded just before the pump was shutdown.
Specify the number of ‘Malfunction’ dynacards for which Geo SCADA Expert is to retain the data online. Once this limit is reached, Geo SCADA Expert automatically discards the oldest set of ‘Malfunction’ dynacard data whenever it uploads a further set of ‘Malfunction’ dynacard data.
‘Malfunction’ dynacards contain the dynamometer data that was recorded when a malfunction occurred at the pump.
