AFProbe

Description

A sample project to demonstrate how AF SDK is used by Seeq.

Build

First we may need to get the dependencies. This step is only needed if your IDE is not getting them automatically. This can be done by running the following command in the root of the project:

nuget install packages.config -o packages

Then you have to add the reference to the AF SDK dlls. This has to be done manually.

Usage

AFProbe.exe

Command line arguments

Arguments:
  -a, --af_server_id=VALUE   AF Server ID.
  -u, --username=VALUE       Optional username.
  -p, --password=VALUE       Optional password.
  -s, --start=VALUE          Request start (ISO time. It defaults to 2019-01-02T00:00:00.0Z) if not provided.
  -e, --end=VALUE            Request end (ISO time). It defaults to 2023-11-02T00:00:00.0Z  if not provided.
  -c, --samples_per_chunk=VALUE
                             Maximum number of samples to get in a AF request. It default to 5000000.
  -t, --threads=VALUE        Max degree of parallelism.
  -f, --file=VALUE           File from where to read the data IDs (one per line).

Examples

Example 1: 64 parallel requests with 32768 samples per chunk

Get all samples in the default time range for all attributes listed in the csv file, making requests on 64 threads and getting 32768 samples per chunk. AFProbe.exe -u <yourUser> -p <yourPassword> -a <AF server GUID> -f c:\full path to csv file\the file.csv -t 64 -c 32768

Example 2: 64 parallel requests with ARCMaxCollector samples per chunk

Get all samples in the default time range for all attributes listed in the csv file, making requests on 64 threads and getting the maximum number of samples (automatically calculated based on AcrMaxCollector) per chunk. AFProbe.exe -u <yourUser> -p <yourPassword> -a <AF server GUID> -f c:\full path to csv file\the file.csv -t 64

Example 3: serial requests with ARCMaxCollector samples per chunk

Get all samples in the default time range for all attributes listed in the csv file, making all requests on one single thread and getting the maximum number of samples (automatically calculated based on AcrMaxCollector) per chunk. AFProbe.exe -u <yourUser> -p <yourPassword> -a <AF server GUID> -f c:\full path to csv file\the file.csv -t 1

Example csv file

The csv file should contain one ID per line. The ID is the concatenation of the element ID and the attribute ID, separated by a slash. The csv file should contain no header.
