View point sources with the Point Source Table tool

The PI Point Source Table tool displays a complete list of point sources stored in the Data Archive Point Source table for all connected Data Archive servers. Point sources are unique single or multi-character strings used to identify the source of data for a PI point. Each PI Point contains a PointSource attribute to enable PI Interfaces or other scanning software to provide data to that point. For example, when a PI Random Interface starts up, it searches the PI Point Database for every PI point that is configured with a PointSource R. The interface then typically examines other PI Point attributes before it loads the points, to ensure the points are valid for its use.
