In the Data node you can configure how time periods are named and which info fields will be written. You can define a basic name and select which parameters are to be added to the time period name: a (consecutive) number, start date and start time, start trigger name, value of a text signal.

In the Info fields table, you can add info fields by dragging signals from the signal tree into the table. You can also use the plus button to add a row. For each info field you must define the following:

• Signal: Signal whose value is to be written to the info field

• Display name: The display name for the info field. By default, the signal name is used. The same name may not be used twice for the display name.

• DB column name: The name of the database column that will contain this info field. Depending on the database type that the period uses, there may be restrictions on the length and the characters that can be used in the column name. By default, a normalized version of the signal name is used.

• Data type: The data type used for the database column. By default, the data type of the signal is used.

• Unit: This is the unit for the info field (read only). It is always the same as the unit of the signal.

• Sample at: You can specify when the value is acquired - at the start or at the stop trigger.

• Active: If an info field is active, ibaPDA writes a value to the field. If it is not active, ibaPDA does not change the database column corresponding to the info field.

The table shows the full list of info fields that are available in the database. It is not necessary for ibaPDA to write all info fields.
