Configuring Buffering with PI ICU (Windows)


Buffering is enabled through the PI Interface Configuration Utility’s Tools>API Buffering… menu. Unless buffering is explicitly enabled, the PI API will not buffer data, sending data directly to the home node.
The API Buffering… dialog allows the user to view and configure the parameters associated with the PI API Buffering (bufserv) process. The user can start and stop the PI API Buffering process from the Service tab:

Service Tab


The Service tab allows for some PI API Buffering service configuration. For further configuration changes, use the Services applet.

The Service name displays the name of the PI API Buffering Service.

The Dependent services area lists the Windows services that depend on bufserv to function correctly.
Start / Stop Service

The Start / Stop buttons allow for the PI API Buffering service to be started and stopped. If the service is not created, this box will show Not Installed.
After a change is made to any of the settings on the Settings tab, the OK button must be clicked to save these settings, and then the service must be stopped and restarted for the changes to be picked up by bufserv.
Service Startup Type

The Startup Type indicates whether the PI API Buffering service is setup to start automatically on reboot or manually on reboot, or is disabled.

  • If the Auto option is selected, the service will be installed to start automatically when the machine reboots.

  • If the Manual option is selected, the interface service will not start on reboot, but will require someone to manually start the service.

  • If the Disabled option is selected, the service will not start at all.

Generally, the PI API Buffering service is set to start automatically.
Create/Remove Service

The Create / Remove buttons allow for the creation or removal of the PI API Buffering service. Clicking the Create button will cause the service to be created using the Log on as and passwords given. Once the service is created the Start / Stop buttons will be activated.
