[Product_Support]

Issue

What are the data types of the newly introduced fields “Alarm Type” and “Secondary Value” in Sigma ODBC Release 4.06?

Product Line

Satchwell BAS & Sigma

Environment

Sigma ODBC

Cause

The data types for the new fields were not documented in the initial release notes, leading to uncertainty during database configuration.

Resolution

Both “Alarm Type” and “Secondary Value” fields are of Text data type.

These fields appear in the Sigma ODBC editor and must be manually selected for inclusion in the ODBC database. Refer to the screenshot below for visual confirmation of the new entries.

📌 Note: Ensure these fields are mapped correctly when configuring your ODBC connection to avoid data retrieval issues.
