Session Setup - Eventing

This page is used in case a generic event driver without User Interface (UI) is selected in the Database Setup.
The Event Definitions required by this driver can be found in an XML file created earlier with the I/O Driver Editor.

For a detailed explanation on how to set up the Eventing driver, how to activate it in the Database Setup and how to use it online, read our Knowledge Base document "Howto Eventing".

It is possible to make the events visible in the Navigation Display using the Layer Overview menu.
What exactly is visible is set in the same XML file mentioned above.

The I/O Driver Editor can be found in the lower pane of the QINSy Console.
If the I/O Driver Editor is not visible use the right mouse button menu to add it.

Two menus are available for Eventing:

General

Eventing General Settings
Logging Mode	Set when the events should be logged: Enabled When Recording - Events are only logged when data is being recorded. Enabled - Events are logged whenever QINSy is online.
Event Database	When fired the events can be stored in an event database (*.evtdb). This file is only used for visibility of the events in the displays. The events themselves are stored in the normal QINSy database. Enter a name and location for this file using the browse button.
<Edit Events>	Open a dialog which will give access to the stored events in the event database (*.evtdb). These events can be edited and deleted.
