Hello,

When I create an automatic sample from a tag the data must be stored inside the MES database. Where is that location because I cannot find it. I’m trying to confirm that the automatic samples are actually being taken. I’ve setup everything in the designer correctly (I think) but I cannot create SPC data for charting.

If someone answers this question and I look in the location in the MES database and the data is not there is there what might be the problem?

Thanks.
