Saving the batch archive

On the fourth page of this dialogbox we define, how the archive files should be saved.

We save our basic archive in the Internal database (i.e. in the zenon format). So we can use the data stored there in other modules (e.g. Report Generator or Extended Trend Module) later.
In the section Ring buffer select that our archive files should no be evacuated. The files should be kept for five hours.

Settings in the section Cycle are not necessary, as starting and stopping of the archive files is done by hand (i.e. with functions). Therefore the value is ignored as far as the length of the files is concerned.

But the value has an impact on how many archive files are stored. The diverse length of archive files is not regarded. zenon calculates the number of archives to be stored in the following way:

5 hours (Keep archives / 15 minutes (Cycle) = 20 files to be stored.
