We have semi-annual reports we need to send to regulatory bodies about a few pieces of equipment we run. Timestamps for tag values are staggered since they're "on change" for each measured value. Is there a way we can capture other tags when one is triggered? Trying to get a single timestamp with all relevant values per machine.

If you need all timestamps to match, you'll need the SQL bridge module instead of the historian to capture these values.

Data captured with it will be independent of the historian and doesn't need to be the same rate as historian if you just need periodic or triggered collection.

Or just use scripting to do this yourself. If you need current data, make sure to read the tag values using opc reads
