Monitor tag options

From the Monitor Tag Setup tab, you can disable monitor tags for the PI Event Frames Generator batch that you do not use. Each batch interface supports approximately 40 tags, with each tag licensed in groups. Disabling unused tags reduces license consumption. Select each tag that you want to disable.

To enable or disable tags in bulk, use the Select all tags and Unselect all tags options at the top of the window.

Option	Description
Select all tags	Disables all monitor tags listed.
Unselect all tags	Activates all monitor tags previously disabled.
Monitor tag time window in days	Most monitor tags show a sum of events over a number of days. This setting allows the size of the window to be adjusted. The default value is one day.
