Appendix B. Using the OPC Server and Client
B.1 Introduction
When used with a group of RF ValProbe Base Stations and loggers, the Kaye OPC Server
(version 4.1 and subsequent versions) enables real-time monitoring of up to 8 Base
Stations and their associated Loggers over the Ethernet from remote computers. If users
have RF ValProbe Base Stations connected to the Ethernet, they can read the
measurements of Loggers associated with these base stations via the OPC Client. In
addition, the Server can support a user-supplied OPC Historian Client, which stores all
measurements over a 30-day period.
Note: Real-time monitoring via the OPC Server is only available via the Ethernet, not
via USB connections.
