Conversion Section

The Conversion section of the .INI file identifies resources for
importing other file formats and resembles this example:

[Conversion]
Import0 = PIDisDIFF Files, impd32.dll, dat
Import1 = PI-Graphics Files, impp32.dll, dat

ImportN identifies the file types used when converting VAX-formatted
trends or graphics. N increments by one for each file type.

The second field is the name of the file type to be imported and will appear
in the List Files of Type drop-down box in the Import File dialog box.

The third field is the DLL used to import the file type. No path is
necessary, since the files reside in the same directory as Procbook.exe.

The fourth field is the default extension for the file type. You may have
more than one extension for each import type, separated by semicolons.

Data Manager Section

The Data Manager section of the .INI file should be added by the
System Manager and should resemble this example.

[Data Manager]
TIMER = 5000

TIMER sets the poll timer, in milliseconds, for checking whether
FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook should perform any time-related task.
Time-related tasks include retrieving exception reports from FactoryTalk
Historian and re-querying sources. (60,000 is the maximum setting; the
default is 5000.)
