For example, a sensor may be configured to log a sensor every 5 minutes and read the
sensor every 10 seconds. In this case, the database records the average value of 30
samples taken once every 10 seconds for 5 minutes.
In addition to sensors, events are also recorded to the database.

Database Size
The database is limited to a maximum of 3 million records. Once the database has been
filled, the oldest records are deleted to allow new data to be recorded. Typical recording
intervals will result in over one year of recorded data.
THE DATABASE MAY BE CUSTOMIZED USING THE CONFIGURATION UTILITY TO
MEET CUSTOMER NEEDS.
1.2.9
Time and Time Zones
The RSDetection is time zone aware and is always configured to maintain the date and
time based upon Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). When XML commands are received that
include date and times, the unit expects to receive the time with the proper time zone
offset.
