Data sources are often customized to include information
specific to a site's installation in the form of vendor attributes. This customization
adds data not covered by the OPC or OPCAE specifications and may or may not require
storage in the Historian Archive. As a result, Historian Administrator provides a means to specify which vendor attributes will be collected from any given
data source. A maximum of 10 vendor attributes can be collected.
