The dBASE file format has become an industry standard for data storage, and Citect SCADA supports the standard dBASE format. You can use any database editor (that supports dBASE III files) to create a database, and to read and write database records.
To connect to a database, you need to define a Citect SCADA Device. Devices specify the format and location of the database, for example:
|
Name |

{Name,16}{Water,8}{Sugar,8}{Flour,8} {Salt,8}{Yeast,8}{Milk,8} |
