Retrieve values for event snapshot tags

You can retrieve values for snapshot tags associated with a particular event tag.

To retrieve event snapshot values:

1. In cells in your worksheet, enter one or more tagnames (one tagname per cell).

   You must specify both the event tag that is associated with the snapshot action and the snapshot tag.

   For information on selecting an event tag, see Selecting Analog, Discrete, String, Summary, or Event Tags.

   For information on selecting a snapshot tag, see Selecting Event Snapshot Tags. Select the tag(s) associated with the event tag you selected.

2. On the Historian tab, in the Tag Management group, click Tag Values, and then click Event Snapshot Values. The Event Snapshot Values - Step 1 of 4 dialog box appears.

3. In the Servers list, click the name of the server to use.

4. In the Select cell(s) containing tag name(s) list, specify the location of the worksheet cell(s) that contains the tag name(s). Click on the button to select the cell(s). For more information, see Selecting Cells.

5. If you want to use a named tag range variable instead, click Binding Options and then configure the range. For more information, see Using "Binding" Tags to a Query at Run Time.
