- Device Name: Name of Station. Should be unique within a plant.
- Device Type: For each installation, a number of device types are defined during commissioning, e.g. stack analyzer, calibrator etc. System behaviour depends on device type in some respects, e.g. some widgets and reports are designed for a specific device type, e.g. Ganga basin industries widget will use only water analyzers.
- Polling frequency: Provide polling frequency in millisec, the same polling frequency is applicable to all analyzers under the station. This is the frequency at which RTDAS polls all analyzers under this station.
- Writable: Whether to allow user to write any values back to the device.
- Average interval (minutes): Interval at which variable values should be averaged and stored. Applicable only in EnviroConnect.
- Reconnect Frequency (minutes): Frequency with which RTDAS will try to reconnect the device if connection is lost.
- Polling type: Continuous: RTDAS will poll device continuously at polling frequency.
Need based polling: RTDAS will poll the device only on user request.
- Device State: Active or disabled. RTDAS will not poll if device is disabled
- Protocol and Protocol information is not applicable for station. This is to be filled for every analyzer
