Monitor displays

Outside of Design mode, you can monitor a display.

Note: You can use the timebar at the bottom of the display to pan across the display's time range, regardless of whether you are in Design mode or not.

Before you start, click Monitor Operations to exit Design mode. AVEVA PI Vision locks the display, preventing you from accidentally making changes to any symbols.

• View trend cursors by clicking on any trend.

  (See Monitor trends with trend cursors.)

  

• Pan across the display's time range by dragging the lower section of the trend left or right.

  (See Pan across a trend's time range.)

  

• Use trend zoom to zoom in on a particular range of time and value in a trend.

  (See Zoom in on a trend.)

• Add data items to existing symbols on the display by dragging data items from the search results inside existing symbols.

  On a trend, a data item appears as a new trace. On a table, a data item appears as a new row. For value and gauge symbols, adding a data item swaps the existing data item with a new one.

• Search for data items and drag them to the display to create new symbols.

  When you create a new symbol, AVEVA PI Vision automatically enters Design mode.

• View any data symbol (trend, table, value, or gauge) as a pop-up trend in a separate, new display by double-clicking the symbol.

  The pop-up trend shows data from the symbol on the original display. Click the pop-up trend to view trend cursors. You can also use a trend zoom, and pan across the pop-up trend's time range by dragging the lower section of the trend left or right.
