How to configure:

1. Compile source code - refer to GSF dlls provided by the installed OpenHistorian. The target platform should match openHistorian's platform - .Net Framework 4.8 64bit for openHistorian 2.8.157.

   • Make sure to fill Historian field and other compulsory fields
   • Check Enabled
