`hist_disable`

hist_disable — stops data recording.

Syntax

hist_disable (hist_task[, pattern])

Parameters

hist_task: The task object corresponding to the Cascade Historian. See locate_task in the Gamma manual.
pattern: The name of one or more (using a globbing pattern) histories to be acted upon. When this parameter is not specified, the default is *, to include all histories.

Returns

t (true) if successful. Otherwise returns nil and sets _last_error_ to the error string returned by the Cascade Historian.

Description

This function flushes one or more histories to disk and causes each of them to ignore all subsequent values until either enable, hist_enable, or HI_Enable is called on it.

This function corresponds to the disable command, and the Cogent C API function HI_Disable.
