Process Data

In Instrumentation Engineer, process data for multiple instruments may be viewed in a grid format. This enables faster data entry using copy and paste functionality, and enables Users to view like instruments and more easily see missing or inconsistent data etc.

The grid window also supports editing of multiple tags from a single multi-editing window.

To view and edit process data in the Process Data grid

1. Click Select in the Grids and Schedules section of the Home tab.

2. Select Process Data from the list of grids that is then displayed.

   The Process Data grid is then displayed:

   

3. Instrument data may be edited by clicking on the button that is displayed in the Tag No cell when the mouse is hovered over that cell.

   Note: Any change made to data in this grid is not updated onto the respective datasheet until the datasheet is Opened (or Updated from the Datasheet List).

   The grid supports Grid Manager for User defined grid layouts. AVEVA Instrumentation remembers the last Grid View used and starts with that view.

   Note: Grid Manager allows each User to define their own sets of data fields/columns, column order, predefined filters and sort order for the Process Data List. Each set is known as a 'View'. For example, Users can set various views to show only certain tag types (e.g Control Valves, Pressure Transmitters etc.) and then limit the fields to show only those specific to that tag type (e.g For a Pressure Transmitter show PressureMax, TemperatureDesign and exclude LevelMax etc.).

   By default all fields in the AVEVA Instrumentation Database table 'ProcessData' are shown along with a few base InstrumentList fields (e.g TagNo, P&IDNo etc.).
