Create an active historical data set

To create a new active historical data set, the user must have the DeltaV security key for the HDS_ACTIVE function, and then complete the following steps:

  1. Click the Create New Active Data Set icon on the toolbar or select Create New Active Data Set from the Tools menu.
    The Create New Active Data Set dialog prompts you to continue, indicating that a new active data set will be started and the existing active data set will be converted to the current data set.
  2. Click Yes to continue with the creation of a new active data set or No to cancel the request.
The active data set is closed and becomes the current data set. A new, empty data set is started.
