    Data Logger supports the following ODBC drivers. Note that the ODBC driver for the Database Management System you are using must be installed on the PC that is running your OPC server.

    • SQL Native Client (necessary for SQL Server 2005)
    • SQL Server ODBC Driver (compatible with pre-SQL Server 2005)
    • MyODBC driver 3.51 (for MySQL)
    • Microsoft Access 4.0 ODBC Driver
    • Linked Excel table support provided through the Microsoft Access 4.0 ODBC driver

    This product is licensed on a per computer basis. Thus if you have two TOP Servers on two different PCs that need to use the DataLogger Component, a license will be needed for each PC.
