How do I pull data at 1 minute interval using piconfig?

I have a request to pull all data for a number of tags at 1 minute interval. This is 13 years of data. I gather that I will have to break this up into chunks of 4-5months at a time. I think I can live with this.

I have played with piconfig and a powershell script I found in another post. I have everything figured out except the 1 minute part. I can do this with Datalink, but Excel doesn't have nearly enough capacity for this much data.

Is there a way to do this 1m interval using piconfig or powershell?

Also, I'm open to ideas on how to get as much data as possible at a go so I can do with less effort.

Hello MickyO ,

With piconfig.exe you have access to snapshot data through table pisnap and to recorded values through piarc but I wouldn't know how to retrieve archived data at a specific sampling interval. With OSIsoft.PowerShell you could use GetPIValue and there appears to be the option to request for interpolated events but I have never tried this myself.

Gregor, I found a powershell script you wrote some 6 years ago that outputs a count of the data points. Can it be modified to output the datapoint themselves?
