How Do You Configure Other Engine Parameters?
There are other Engine parameters you can configure within
the Tag Configuration Editor. You can define your Historical
Logging Configuration and Event Configuration by selecting
Configure»Historical… or Events… through the BridgeVIEW
Tag Configuration Editor dialog box, shown in Figure 3-1.
How Do You Turn on Historical and Event Logging at Startup?
To turn on historical and event logging at startup, select
Configure»Historical… or Events… from the Tag Configuration Editor.
Checkboxes in each dialog box turn on historical and event logging at
system startup. For more information, see Chapter 5,

How Do You Set the File Paths for Historical and Events Files?
From the main panel of the Tag Configuration Editor, select
Configure»Historical… or Events…. The dialog box allows you to
set the path to the directories containing historical or events files.
How Do You Configure Shifts?
Shifts are valuable in configuring event logging. Shift start and stop times
determine how event files are segmented, and end of shift reports can use
these configuration files to determine process and line statistics. From the
main panel of the Tag Configuration Editor, select Configure»Events….
The panel has a shift display with which you can edit the configuration.
How Do You Configure Engine Parameters?
The BridgeVIEW Engine has several default settings for Engine
parameters. However, you can override these defaults within the Buffer
Configuration dialog box by selecting Configure»Engine… from the Tag
Configuration Editor.
The BridgeVIEW Engine allocates certain amounts of memory for various
queues. You can configure some of the parameters used by the Engine and
Tags VIs to allocate memory for the Engine buffers yourself, but it is
recommended you use the default values. The parameters you can
configure are listed in Table 3-12. For more information about these
parameters or the VIs that contain them, refer to Appendix A,
