Text Historian Connector (time series)
This connector is used to get historical data from one or more text files stored in a common folder. The connector “stitches” a set of text files together so they can be treated as a single entity and consequently provide similar behavior to a historian.
The naming convention for the file name must reflect the content of the file, e.g., if file contains records time stamped for 1st, Oct 2020 then a file name 01_10_2020 or Packing_2020_10_1 or similar would be suitable.
This connector only supports text files that are encoded as ANSI (also referred to an UTF-8), UTF-8 with BOM (Byte Order Mark) or UNICODE little endian.
