FMS Legacy History Data Group

The "FMS Legacy History Data" (GmrHist) data group is used to send specific historical data to the FMS. Only one instance of an "FMS Legacy History" data group in a device template file is possible. It gets its data from one or more history support data groups.

Support data groups are found in the supportDg section of your sample template. Mapping between "FMS Legacy History" data group elements and FMS Legacy data items is within the histItems section of gmrMaps in the device template file.

Specify date ranges on a per-data group basis within the device editor. For more information, see Selecting Date and Time.
