Objectives
This class provides guidance to developers who want to design custom applications where PI acts as an OPC or a Relational database. It demonstrates how to use the different products included in the PI Data Access (PI DA) module. That module allows developers to access and manage PI data via the communication standards (ODBC, OLEDB, OPC-DA, OPC-HDA).

Note: This is a general guideline for the course. The instructor adjusts the class content to fit the students requirements. This means you'll spend more time on subjects that are important to you and less time on subjects that are less relevant to your situation. However, the trainer will not go beyond the scope of this training package. For custom training please contact your sales representative.
