PageTrendEx

Displays a trend page of a specified cluster in a multi-cluster system with the specified trend pens. Use this function to display trends in a mult-cluster system with a single trend page. You need to create the trend page with the Graphics Builder and set the pen names to blank. Then display that page by calling this function and passing the required trend tags. Call this function from a menu of trend pages. This function can also be used in a single cluster system, the sCluster argument is optional in such a case.

Note: This function is not supported in the server process in a multiprocessor environment. Calling this function from the server process results in a hardware alarm being raised.

Syntax

PageTrendEx(sPage, sCluster, sTag1 [, sTag2..sTag8] )

sPage:

Name of the trend page (drawn with the Graphics Builder).

sCluster:

Name of the cluster in which the trend page is located.

sTag1:

The first trend tag to display on the page.

sTag2..sTag8:

Optionally trend tags 2 to 8 to display on the page.

Return Value

0 (zero) if successful, otherwise an error is returned.

Note: Before Plant SCADA version 5.0, page records could be edited in the Project Editor. One of the fields available for configuration was "Page Number". The value entered for a page could then be used in runtime with the Page Cicode functions such as PageDisplay(), PageGoto(), and PageInfo(1).
For example, PageDisplay("1") can be used to display the page that has "1" (without the quotes) set in the Page Number field. PageInfo(1) returns the Page Number of the current page.
From version 5.0 on, this feature is only backwards-supported. The "Alias" field in the project Pages.DBF file still contains the Page Numbers from upgraded projects; however, the Pages database records are no longer available for direct editing in Plant SCADA.
