What is a Site Database?
Every piece of data in the database must be identified with a universally unique combination of numbers. This is accomplished with folders, machines, points and measurement locations by
including the site identification number in the internal identifier for the item.
For data such as parameter sets, axis names and other non-structural data an additional identifier is included to identify the particular database within the site that this data was created in. This will allow for multiple installations of the software at a particular site to share data types without risk of conflicting identifiers.
This combination of a site number and a site database number is called a Site Database. You can have more than one site database.
