Direct PI point references

In the configuration string, a direct point reference uses two backslashes (\\) to reference a PI point on a Data Archive. For example, the following configuration string references the sinusoid point on a Data Archive called MyPIServer:

\\MyPIServer\sinusoid

For attribute templates, you can also use substitution parameters in the reference. For example, the following configuration string references the sinusoid point on the default Data Archive of the PI AF database for the attribute:

\\%Server%\sinusoid

For more information on substitution parameters, see Substitution parameters in data references.
