Description
Update 
Deadband
all
Determines when the Real-Time Database (RTDB) updates the 
value for this tag. It is used to improve system performance and 
prevent unnecessary processing of tag values in the RTDB. The 
field is expressed differently for analog, discrete, string, and bit 
array tags. For analog tags, Update Deadband is a percent of full 
scale. The database updates analog tags only when a new tag 
value is different than the currently stored value by at least the 
Update Deadband. Use 0% if you want each new value for the tag 
to be saved in the RTDB. For discrete, string, and bit array tags, 
Update Deadband is expressed as either Always or On Change.
Log Data
analog, 
discrete,
bit array 
Determines whether a tag value is logged to historical files. 
Log Data 
Deadband
analog, 
discrete, 
bit array
Determines when tag values are logged to disk. It is used to 
improve system performance and prevent unnecessary logging 
of data to disk. Like Update Deadband, the field is expressed 
differently for analog, discrete, and bit array tags. For analog 
tags, Update Deadband is a percent of full scale. The 
BridgeVIEW Engine writes new analog tag values to historical 
files only when a new tag value is different than the last logged 
value by at least the Log Data Deadband. Use 0% if you want 
each new value for the tag to be logged. For discrete and bit 
array tags, Update Deadband is expressed as either Always 
or On Change.
Log 
Resolution
analog
Determines the resolution in engineering units for logging a tag 
value in the Citadel Historical Database. Tag values are written to 
the database in a compressed format with the resolution specified 
by Log Resolution. Use 
0.0
 if you want the exact value written 
to the Citadel Historical Database. Notice that logging the exact 
value requires more time and disk space. The default value 
is
0.1
Log/Print 
Events
all
Determines whether events associated with the tag (for example, 
changes in alarm state) are logged to event log files or printed to 
a line printer.
