26.1 Time Series in Energistics

The time series data object (and companion time series statistic) are available for the exchange of time series data, and have been part of PRODML since v1.2. The PRODML Time Series data object is intended for use in support of smart fields or high-frequency historian type interactions.

It is likely that this data object will be replaced in time by usage of data objects associated with the Energistics Transfer Protocol (ETP) which has been developed for transfer of data channels streamed in real time. For backwards compatibility, it is included here.
