To record signals, you have to assign the signals to a topic by using a storage profile of the type Time.

Either click in the Topics node, in the Signals column of the topic list on the <…> button to access the signal selection dialog.

Or select a topic in the tree structure.

Note
	Additional information about the storage profiles can be found in the ibaPDA manual, part 5.

Select the topic to which you would like to assign certain signals and select a storage profile in the profile list. Set a check mark in the selection fields next to the signals which you would like to assign to this profile.

The Profile properties section displays some information about the configured timebase and filtering of the selected profile.

Kafka cluster data stores are licensed per number of written signals. You can find the current number of selected signals in all Kafka cluster data stores at the bottom of the dialog, similar to the number of configured signals in the I/O Manager. The length of the bar corresponds to the licensed number of signals.

In the example above, a maximum of 1024 signals can be written via Kafka data stores. Currently 37 signals are enabled.
