Engine Simulator Data Storage
Use a Timer to record mass amounts of test data, and then export it as a Comma-Separated Values file.
Guide Concept
Having an Edge MicroServer (EMS) Engine Simulator has allowed you to begin work on using ThingWorx Foundation for instrumenting a prototype engine.
However, the end goal is not to inspect the data manually, but to have ThingWorx Analytics perform an automatic notification for any issues.
In this guide, you’ll create a Timer to generate thousands of data points, and then export the dataset as a Comma-Separated Values (.csv) file for future use in building an analytical model of the engine.
