Set Snapshot Archive Location
By default, snapshots are stored in the diagnostic manager project file. For large fieldbus instal
-
lations with many diagnostic devices, this project file increases rapidly. This can make file han
-
dling complicated.
Caution!
Large Project Files
Large project files may cause the software to slow down. We recommend that you store snap
-
shot data in an external file if the expected number of snapshots exceeds 4 000.
Caution!
Data Loss
Once the snapshot data has been stored in an external file, it cannot be stored in the project file
again without losing the externally stored snapshots.
To prevent data loss, establish a backup solution for the external snapshots.
