Check snapshot values using with apisnap

Use the apisnap utility to check snapshot values. Run the utility from the ..\PI\adm directory.

When you run apisnap, the utility prompts you for a point name. Enter either the point name or the point ID prefixed by the \ character. For example, enter \1 to look up the point with a point ID of one (if the default points are installed, this is sinusoid). To quit the utility, simply press Enter at the prompt.

To check snapshot values on a different computer, enter the network node name or the node name and TCP/IP port number when calling the apisnap utility. For example, to connect to PISRV4 at port 5450, type:

apisnap PISRV4:5450

The pisnap.bat script, located in the PI\adm directory, runs the apisnap utility and connects to Data Archive on the same computer.
