If you choose this option, PCo monitors the AF assets.

Max. Number of Events

Indicates the number of historical events that are to be called up during the data polling. (See also: Polling.)

Policy for Storing Tag Values with Identical Time Stamps

You can specify here how you want PCo to deal with duplicate tag values. Sometimes there are two values with identical time stamps for one tag. You have the following options:
