Appended data

PI DataLink can append information about the values retrieved. This appended data can provide context to retrieved values. Appended data can include:

• Time stamps that show when values were recorded

• Time stamps that show the start and end times of an interval

• Time stamps that show when the minimum and maximum values occurred

• The percentage of good values over a sampling interval

• Value attributes

• Manually entered annotations

• Source server names

PI DataLink displays the specified appended data in the columns (or rows) adjacent to the primary values that the function returns:

• Time data are displayed in columns to the left of (or rows above) primary values.

• Other related data are displayed in columns to the right of (or rows below) primary values.
