PI OPCtoCSV Tool: Filter by OPC ItemID

The PI Interface for OPC DA is packaged with the PI OPCtoCSV tool which extracts all OPC Items. It is possible to filter the items by subbranch like the PI APS Connector for OPC DA interface, but unlike the APS Connector, it is not possible to fil...

AutoPointSync for OPC DA should work on 64bit servers.
