Search parameters for stale or bad points

Stale

Specifies the time range that defines when a PI point is stale. Default is 4 hours. You can use PI time expressions to define the range.

Exclude tags with scan off

Excludes decommissioned PI points, that is, points that are not collecting data because their scan point attribute is set to Off.

To select specific states, select the Specific States option button, click the Specific States button, and then use the dialog to select the states to include or exclude. You need to specify a Data Archive before you can select the Specific States option button.
