14. DAQBench SCADA/HMI Tag Server OPC Database
The Tag Server communicates with OPC servers (either local or remote), scales the data, logs historical data, and processes alarms,
OPC
The Tag Config Utility configures all tags in the system. When you configure a tag, you define several properties for the tag, such as logging, scaling, and alarms.
ActiveX controls
DAQBench Trends, Alarms, Reports, Equipment, and User Interface controls allow you to quickly develop screens. In addition, linking to tags is through the use of easy interface window. You don’t even need to write any program.

18. Benefits of Using DAQBench
Ease-of-Use
Using general programming languages (VB, VC++, etc.)
Interactive and even-driven programming
Low Cost
Easy programming, saves you time (and money) not only in initial implementation but also in future maintenance.
Quick time-to-market

19. Benefits of Using DAQBench
Performance
Better than ready-to-run package or graphical programming language
Integration
Easy to integrate with Excel, web, OPC server, DDE server, and database
Open and extensible

20. Application Example 1 – Factory Monitoring
