- 6. RESULT: The logical parameter object will perform interaction and placing of gathered data to the parameter attributes and archives.
- 7. In the process of the working, through the tab "Archiving" you have to select the archiving parameters in the used archivers to create the representative archives.
- 8. ... through the tab "Attributes" of operational data, in addition to obtaining the result, it is possible to perform operative setup and control on:
