How Archive Compression Timeout Works

The Archive Compression Timeout value describes a period of time at which the held value is written to disk. If a value is held for a period of time that exceeds the timeout period, the next data point is considered to exceed the deadband value, regardless of the actual data received or the calculated slope.

After the value is written due to an archive compression timeout period, the timeout timer is reset and compression continues as normal.
