 +====IBA Driver===
  
 +===Information===
 +
 +The iba driver allows you to connect to **iba HDServer** systems to retrieve historical data.
 +
 +We usually suggest using **OPC-UA** to connect to live data, as this provides the best performance while also having the smallest impact on your server.
 +
 +//Note: You will need to have a license with the GRPC option - this is required to allow ARDIs drivers to connect and retrieve data//
 +
 +^Driver Info^Detail^
 +|Driver Type:|**History Only**|
 +|Platforms:|**All**|
 +
 +===Driver Settings===
 +
 +This driver has several options...
 +
 +^Option^Description^
 +|Host|The IP address or name of the HDServer system|
 +|Port|The port that the HDServer is running on|
 +|Default Store|The data store to use by default|
 +|Certificate|A server security certificate for the IBA server|
 +|Public Key|A public client security key for this device|
 +|Private Key|A private client security key for this device|
 +
 +Note that the last three items are //optional// and will be generated by your IBA system.
 +
 +In tests, we've often found that the security certificates created the first time will **often fail**. If the driver fails to connect with a set of certificates, try re-generating new ones. 
 +
 +===Point Settings===
 +
 +IBA points only have to parameters, one of which is optional.
 +
 +^Option^Usage^
 +|Data Store|The name of the data store. If blank, the default will be assumed|
 +|Name|The name of the point in IBA|
 +
 +===Notes===
 +
 +IBA lacks the concept of an 'integer' type. ARDI attempts to resolve issues around this by interpolating and processing certain channels differently when you're using them in enumerations.
