Embedded Historian

The V2.0 release of the embedded component historian object (ECHO) enables developers to create an embedded data historian supporting Microsoft Windows CE.Net 4.2—in addition to high-end server machines already supported.

Potential applications for an ECHO historian include stand-alone digital chart recorders, handheld data collection devices and networked data collection from large assets such as paper making machines. ECHO-CE in V2.0 of ECHO provides developers an advanced tool for placing high-performance, high-volume data collection capabilities in remote or mobile devices. It is especially useful for applications that use data locally, or when intermittent connections to the enterprise network conflict with the need for continuous data collection. ECHO creates efficient temporal archives with features valued by developers: supported by a wide range of Windows programming tools; optimized for storing time stamped data; compact and scalable footprint; and, built-in audit trail for 21CFR part 11 compliance.
