Working with the panels

The following examples show how to retrieve the values of data points and how to edit them.

Correction values

For this example, use the Archiving and Compression panel to create a data point type with 3 compression levels (for example, five minute interval) and set up an associated data point.

  1. For this example, you create a data point type heat with a data point thermal_output_3.

  2. Then assign values to this data point, heat1.value.._original.._value (with the standard symbol STD_SIMULATOR Rand_Sim).

  3. Since the first compression and archiving takes place after five minutes, you can retrieve values already after just a short period of time.

Laboratory values

In order to create an example of laboratory values, you need to create data point types and data points that have the manual input option enabled in the Archiving and Compression panels. In general, fewer items of data are generated with manual readings, which you should bear in mind when setting the intervals.

  1. For this example, you create two data point types testlab1 and testlab2, with the data points manual_measuring1 (density) and 2 for testlab1 and probe_measuring1 and 2 for testlab2.

  2. Set up 2 compression levels for testlab1, configure manual input at hourly intervals for level C1 and mean at daily intervals for C2. For testlab2, set manual input at daily intervals for C1 and mean at weekly intervals for C2 (this is not a standard interval option, you first need to configure and open an archive for this).
