Retrieve selected digital states

Before you can retrieve digital states, you need to Specify a Data Archive server.

You can use PI Builder to retrieve selected digital state sets and their digital states from Data Archive into Microsoft Excel.

1. On the PI Builder tab, click PI Points > Find Digital States to open the State Set Selection window, which lists the digital state sets in the connected Data Archive server.

2. If desired, filter the list of digital state sets further:

   1. From the Actions list, select the search criteria:

      • Select one type of filter: Contains, Exact Match, Starts With, or Ends With.

      • Select one or more fields to search for matches: Name and Description.

   2. In the Filter field, type the text that you want to search for and press Enter.

      PI Builder returns the digital state sets that match the selected criteria.

3. Select one or more digital state sets to retrieve into the worksheet and click OK.

4. In the Select Object Types and Column Headers window, select the objects and column headers to include in the worksheet, and then click OK.

   PI Builder retrieves the selected points into the worksheet and fills the selected columns with available data.
