I have an application which reads data from a text file. The data, around 20 data points, are available in PI.

The challenge is to find the best way to get the data from PI to the text file at certain intervals (typically every 5 minutes).

For now, PI SDK appears to be the best path to take.

Any opinions on that?

Other (simpler) ways to achieve the same?

Regards,

Smile Roald

Hi roaldly

Welcome

Yep, it seems that SDK is going to be your best option to extract data from PI and them use the VB 'My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText' to "send" the data to a text file.

My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(YOUR_FILE_LOCATION AS STRING, TEXT AS STRING, True)
