PAV files mostly belong to Prosys OPC Client. PAV files come in two main forms.
For many users, a Process Automation Viewer file stores automated process data. These files use the Microsoft Compound format to hold trend data and process settings. They work with software like the Prosys OPC Client. In some systems, they are also known as Wonderware InTouch Trend Data files used with platforms such as PASCO Capstone. For more details, see the Prosys OPC website.
Another set of PAV files acts as scanner profiles. These files hold settings for Fujitsu fi Series scanners and are used by the PaperStream IP Driver. More information can be found at PFU's scanner page.
