PI BASemAPI
UniInt and PI SDKPrior to the release of the version 1.6.0.2 of the PI API, the PI SDK was required in order to retrieve long extended descriptors, instrument tags and tag names. The SDK was also required in order to a use multi-character point source. With the release of the PI API 1.6.0.2, UniInt based interfaces can support all of these features without using the PI SDK. UniInt version 4.1 was modified to take advantage of the new API making the use of the PI SDK For Windows-based interfaces, PI SDK support is available beginning with version 3.2.0 of UniInt. UniInt uses the PI SDK to support the following features: Extended descriptors and instrument tags up to 1 kilobyte in length, or 1023 characters (UniInt 3.2.0). Starting with version 4.1.0 of UniInt, if version 1.6.x or greater of the PI API is installed on the interface node and the PI server is version 3.4.370.x or greater, UniInt will use the PI API functions that were released with PI API 1.6.x to get instrument tags and extended descriptors of up to 1023 characters. Full 32-bit values for excmin and excmax (UniInt 3.4.4). Multi-character point source characters (UniInt 3.5.0). Starting with version 4.1.0 of UniInt, if version 1.6.x or greater of the PI API is installed on the interface node and the PI server is version 3.4.370.x or greater, UniInt will use the PI API function for retrieving points with a multi-character point source. With the PI API prior to version 1.6, the extended descriptor was limited to 80 characters, the instrument tag was limited to 32 characters, excmin and excmax were limited to 16-bit values (0 – 65,535), and only single-character point sources were supported. Check the documentation for your particular interface to see whether the PI SDK is enabled or can be enabled. If the PI SDK is enabled, the following message will be written to the log file. The PI SDK is enabled If the above message is printed, the version of the PI SDK being used will also be printed. If the PI SDK is not enabled, the following message will be written to the log file.
