How many data points can I publish from my device?

How often will the HMI publish data?
Data can be published to the cloud as often as every 5 seconds. However, this interval can be configured by the individual that develops the Dashboard project.
Can I download data that was published to Dashboard?
Absolutely! As long as “History” is enabled for the tag(s) that you would like to backup, Weincloud will store this data for 1 year. The file extension of the backup is .csv.
How can I access my Dashboard?
When the Dashboard project is published, it will be assigned a URL. The URL can be shared with anyone associated with the application or restricted to authorized personnel.
