This section provides you with information about the drivers that the selected database tags can be added to. Each driver is associated with a Discovery Agent and a target application that has its own database in which to store its tags and their information.
NOTE: The driver must be added to the iFIX SCU (System Configuration Utility), in the Configured I/O Drivers list before it can be configured to run in iFIX and be used with the Discover and Auto Configure. If iFIX is already running, you must shutdown and restart iFIX for the changes to take effect.
