Verify that buffered data is being sent to PI Data Archive

Use these instructions only for PI Buffer Subsystem versions 3.4.380 and earlier. For later versions of PI Buffer Subsystem, use Buffering Manager to verify buffering status.

1. In a command window, navigate to the \PIPC\bin directory.

2. Enter: pibufss -cfg

3. In the resulting display, note the number of total events sent.

4. Wait a few seconds, then enter pibufss -cfg again.

   You may want to repeat this step one or two more times. If buffering is working properly, the number of total events sent increases each time. The number of queued events should remain at or near zero.
