Re: Sensor Database Structure
I take your point of the data relevancy. I'm always a back both horses kind of guy. So for the moment the data redundancy doesn't both me so much I think I'll set up multiple tables for quicker reference, then purge the main database for information older than 6 months. Try to get a balance Cheers D...

Re: ISKRA ME162
yes there is an flashing LED, this is how I'm recording it at the moment
I suppose I'm being picky but I wanted to leave the led uncovered so I myself could see it flashing or not.
A quick look, I can tell if I'm generating / exporting or importing.

Re: Sensor Database Structure
I guess I've not put much thought into it when I set it up. I have 3 sensor rows every 30 seconds. So the table has we'll say the maximum resolution, which gives the flexibility that I can dig down to any detail but its not cpu friendly to get what I want when using max, sums etc. Would a good optio...

Re: Visual Basic Help
I don't have any problems using the connector/net. I've got that installed as well I think.
The thing I wasn't sure about was do you need to add references etc as well as installing the driver and using the code.
thanks for your help
