Learn about AF SDK options

Determine whether the interface may use AF SDK

UniInt-based interfaces have the option of disabling, enabling, or using the built-in default set by the interface developer regarding whether to use AF SDK features. These settings can be used to override the default setting specified by the interface developer.

Disable AF SDK tells the interface not to use AF SDK features, regardless of the setting specified by the interface developer. The command-line equivalent for setting this option is /pisdk=0.

Use the Interface's default setting tells the interface not to override the AF SDK on/off setting specified by the interface developer.

Enable AF SDK tells the interface to use AF SDK features, regardless of the setting specified by the interface developer. The command-line equivalent for setting this option is /pisdk=1.

Override default SDK timeout

The timeout in seconds set here is used by AF SDK calls, overriding the data access timeout listed in the Connection Settings window that can be viewed from the PI Connection Manager. The PI Connection Manager should be used for adjusting the AF SDK data access timeout. This parameter should only be specified if the interface uses the AF SDK and a data access timeout that is different from the one set with the PI Connection Manager is required.

The command line equivalent for setting this option is /pisdktimeout=#.

Select Reset to load the default SDK timeout setting to the text box.

Override default initial SDK connection timeout

The timeout in seconds used for opening the initial connection to the PI Server. All other AF SDK calls use the timeout defined in the PI Connection Manager, or the Override default SDK timeout setting, if configured.

The timeout set with this parameter overrides the connection timeout listed in the connection settings dialog that can be viewed from the PI Connection Manager. The PI Connection Manager should be used for adjusting the AF SDK connection timeout. This parameter should only be specified if the interface uses the AF SDK and a connection timeout that is different than the connection timeout set with the PI Connection Manager is required.

The command-line equivalent for setting this option is /pisdkcontimeout=#.

Select Reset to load the default initial AF SDK connection timeout setting to the text box.
