Data Parameters

• Data Source

  The PI tag, alias, AF element attribute, or Event Frame attribute from which to gather values.

• Delimiter

  The character used in the tags which separate the values into columns. The default is a pipe |.

• Columns table

  The Columns table defines which columns are created in the data journal, based on the order of values in the event tags.

  Columns can be added, removed, and reordered.

• Column

  The index number for the current column.

  This value cannot be changed and is not returned to the data journal.

• Column Name

  The name for the column, as it is stored in the Name field of the data journal.

• Display

  Determines if the column is included in the data journal.

  The Yes option includes this column and No leaves it out.

• Filter (n)

  Defines a particular set of criteria which determines if the event data is written to the data journal.

  Single or multiple Filter columns filter the event data.

  • If event tag data matches any of the criteria in the filter columns, the data is written to the data journal.

  • Data that does not match any of the filter column criteria is left out.

  • All event tag data is written to the data journal when no filter columns are defined.
