Connectivity

Prodigy has been carefully designed to make it easy to share information with other software applications.

Prodigy stores information in a Microsoft Access compatible file format. This allows Prodigy to share information directly with Access compatible programs. It also allows ODBC and SQL enquiries to interact with data that Prodigy has collected. Support for the OPC and DDE data exchange standards allows Prodigy to share realtime information with a wide range of third party software that is OPC or DDE aware. OPC servers can also be used to provide serial communication to a huge range of industrial hardware from hundreds of international manufacturers. OPC and all drivers included at no extra cost in standard Prodigy packages. The CSV file format is almost universally supported as a means of exchanging data between different applications. Prodigy makes it easy to export histroic trend information into a CSV file format, giving full control over the file layout and contents. Prodigy Interconnect allows realtime data to be distributed between Prodigy systems via your office network. By using the industry standard TCP/IP protocol, Prodigy can share realtime data over any TCP/IP network, including LAN, WAN, internet and dial up networks.
