Configuration tools

You can configure an AVEVA adapter with the EdgeCmd utility, our proprietary tool for configuring adapters, or a commonly-used REST (REpresentational State Transfer) tool.

EdgeCmd utility

The EdgeCmd utility enables adapter configuration on both Linux and Windows operating systems. For more information on using the EdgeCmd utility, see the EdgeCmd utility documentation.

REST tools

The following third party tools are available to make REST (REpresentational State Transfer) calls:

• Postman

  Postman is a REST (REpresentational State Transfer) tool for systems with GUI (Graphical User Interface) components. Adapters are supported on platforms without GUI (Graphical User Interface)s. Postman is particularly useful for learning more about adapters. For more information, see Postman (https://www.postman.com/).
