The time that the server and client local time offset is allowed to jump. Typically, 3600 if the nodes are in time zones whose DST rules differ (seconds)
Example piclient.ini File
Windows
On Windows, the default server information is stored in the pilogin.inifile so the piclient.ini would only have the [APIBUFFER] section. The BUFFERING=1 indicates that buffering is on. The MAXFILESIZE entry in Kbytes of 100000 allows up to 100 Megabytes of data storage. Do not use commas or other separators in the numeric entries. The retry rate is set to 600 seconds, meaning “Wait 10 minutes after losing a connection before retrying”.
On Windows a piclient.ini file might look like:
[APIBUFFER] BUFFERING=1 MAXFILESIZE=100000 ; The PI API connection routines have a 1 minute default timeout. RETRYRATE=600
Even though the Bailey semAPI is designed to handle multiple user clients, PI Bailey semAPI interface expects exclusive control of the ICI device, specifically the configuration of the point table on the ICI. If the interface is started in trouble-shooting mode (/ICDB), the user can simultaneously communicate with the ICI via Bailey’s TALK90 program. This can be a useful debugging tool for determining the current condition of the ICI.
