One week data buffer on Edge

Ignition
1

Hi there.
I’m a beginner in Ignition Edge, and I have a question about the Ignition Edge Panel license. It says:
"Ignition Edge Panel includes one week of data buffering for trending."

Does this mean I can only access one week of data in the Power Chart in Perspective? Or are there other ways to access the data?

Any help would be appreciated!

I believe that's on the old license/versions. On the latest versions it's increased to 5 weeks. Yes, that is the limit for any history or trending in Edge. If you need more you need to move to Ignition Standard or connect Edge to a Standard system so the Standard system can store longer term history.

But note that the application on Edge itself will only see 35 days (seven weeks). To see the longer history, your UI needs to run on standard Ignition.

This limitation, and the corresponding ban on database connections, is what justifies the dramatic cut in pricing. Edge is not a standalone full SCADA.
