Configure PI Tags for PI Interface for Performance Monitor

A Windows performance counter provides information about the performance of the operating system, an application, a service, or a driver. For example, the %Processor Time performance counter measures the percentage of time the processor is running non-idle threads.

A PI point is a time-stamped record of a single set of measurements (for example, tank temperature). If you misconfigure tags, the interface cannot correctly transmit the data to the PI Data Archive. A performance monitor tag is associated with data from a single performance counter.

The interface supports the following point configurations:

• Data points

• Latency points

• Status points

The following sections describes these configurations in detail.
