Name (and location) of the PI-XML file with exported time series. If the directory location is not explicitly specified the file will be written in the exportDir defined in the general section.

ensembleMemberFormat

Available since 2019.02. Canhave value 'name', 'index' or 'hide'.  If 'name' is configured, the ensemble member Id is written, with 'index' the ensemble member index is written. When using 'hide', the ensemble member information is omitted from the exported timeseries.

exportBinFile

When true the events in the PI time series file are written to a binary file instead of the xml file. The written xml file will only contain the time series headers and optionally a time zone. The binary file has the same name as the xml file only the extension is "bin" instead of "xml". During PI time series import the bin file is automatically read when available. The byte order in the bin file is always Intel x86.

Since 2024.01 it also to reference a single import file instead of a directory with pattern. The time0 will be used as timestamp
