Perspective - Power Chart

The following feature is new in Ignition version 8.1.0
Click here to check out the other new features

The Power Chart collects and displays data based on the pens that have been configured on the chart. Users can add or remove pens from the chart, which in turn changes the underlying data. It is fully customizable in its appearance, from labels, colors, line widths, legend, scroll bars, and text styles.

Note: The Power Chart utilizes functionality provided by the Tag Historian module, and requires a Tag Historian license to function.

The Power Chart has a responsive design and a mobile-optimized display that is different than the standard display. It has a mobile breakpoint so it fits better on mobile devices. The mobile breakpoint is 750px, and is configurable on the 'config' property, responsiveDesignWidth, which is described in the Property Table on this page. The chart can change how it's rendered when viewed on smaller devices. The image below shows how the Power Chart renders on a smaller device.

Component Anatomy

Aside from the trending area, the component features several additional areas that provide additional functionality. The diagram below identifies these areas on a standard device.

Browse Tags

The Browse Tags panel allows you to browse for any available historical data, and add it to the chart. It is similar to the Designer's Tag Browser, but this tree reports any records that are accessible from the Tag Historian system, including tables provided by the DB Table Historian Provider. There are two ways to add Tags to the chart's display:

Select any nodes (entries with the Tag icon), and click Add Selected Tags , which will add a pen to the chart that represents the node that was selected.
Drag selected nodes onto the chart. You can select multiple items by using Ctrl-click. You'll see a prompt indicating how many Tags are selected, i.e., 4 Tags.)

If there's more than one plot in the chart configuration, you will be prompted to choose which plot to add the pen to.

Pen Control

This table shows each pen that's currently on the component, offers some aggregates based on the chart's current range, and provides some quick actions such as hiding the pen and changing its color.

The Pen Data display now supports numeric locale formatting. Numeric values are automatically formatted based on the session locale and the axes.dataFormat property.

Chart Settings

This panel allows users to add new objects to the chart, such as new axes and plots.

Description

Browse Tags

Toggles the Tag Browser panel.

Date Range Selector

Allows you to set the range on the chart. There are two modes:

Realtime: Shows the most recent chart data based on the given timeframe. Useful in cases where you want to display records from now to some amount of time in the past.
Historical: Allows you to pick at start datetime and end datetime using a popup calendar.

When the chart is in Historical mode, an additional time axis appears. On this access you can narrow down what the chart is showing you to specific points of interest by clicking and dragging the mouse along the axis.

Pan and Zoom

In this mode you can drag or swipe to pan forward and backward in time. On desktop device, clicking and dragging will pan across the chart. The mouse wheel will zoom. On mobile/touchscreen device, tapping and dragging will pan. The "pinch" and "spread" gestures will zoom.

Zoom reset

To reset the zoom to default, click the zoom reset icon.

X Trace

Tap to place a vertical line, which shows an interpolated value for each pen on the plot. To clear the X Trace values, select Clear X Trace from the More Menu.

Click here to check out the other new features

The X Trace display now supports numeric locale formatting. Numeric values are automatically formatted based on the session locale and the xTrace.infoBox.dataFormat property.

Range Brush

Allows you to select a range of data on the chart. While a brush is active, the Pen Control Table will show aggregate summaries for the pens over the selected range. Multiple brushes will create multiple aggregation summaries.

Individual selections can be removed by clicking the trashcan icon in the Pen Control Table, or by selecting Clear Range Brushes on the More Menu.

Annotate

Click near a trend, line, or data point and you'll have the opportunity to add an annotation. The annotation is stored with the Tag Historian system, on the sqlth_annotations table. Annotations can edited by clicking the Edit icon and deleted by clicking the Delete icon, which appear when hovering over the annotation.

Full Screen

Puts the chart into full screen mode.

Settings

Opens the Chart settings panel, allowing users to modify various aspects of the chart from the session. There are four tabs: Axes, Pens, Plots, and Columns.

Tab	Description
Axes	You can add or delete Axes here, or click the Edit icon to edit an existing axis. The options are the same on the Add Axis and Edit Axes screens.
Pens	You can add or delete pens here or click the Edit icon to edit an existing pen. The options are the same on the Add Pen and Edit Pen screens.
Plots	You can add or delete plots here or click the Edit icon to edit an existing plot. The options are the same on the Add Plot and Edit Plot screens.
Columns	The Columns Chart Settings tab has options for datapoints to display on the Pen Control Panel and datapoints to display on the Range Brush Table.

More Menu

Provides additional contextual options, depending on the current state of the chart. The button to open the More Menu only appears if there is at least one pen on the chart. The following options are available:

Option	Description
Export	Takes the datapoints visible on the various plots, and exports them to a CSV.
Print	Opens print dialog box so user can print the chart.
Clear X Traces	Clears all X Traces on the chart. Only appears when there are X Traces on the chart.
Clear Range Brushes	Clears all range brushes on the chart. Only appears when there are brush selections on the chart.

Name Description Property Type

penNamePathDepth

The following feature is new in Ignition version 8.1.24
Click here to check out the other new features

This value will set the depth of the tag path to include in the pen name.

Using the Sample Quick Start project as an example, the realistic0 Tag has a parent folder of realistic and a grandparent folder of sample-tags. So the pen name in the Power Chart will be realistic0 if the penNamePathDepth is set to 1, which is the default value. If the penNamePathDepth is set to 3, the pen name in the Power Chart would be sample_tags/realistic/realistic1. You can also add new Tags with path depth values that differ from existing Tags if needed for your project.

value: numeric

tagBrowserStartPath

A path to a nested Tag History provider structure from which browsing will start. The path is expected to contain key-value pairs separated by ":/" characters. Example:

histprov:Sample_SQLite_Database:/drv:My_Gateway:My_Tag_Provider:/tag:My_Folder/Another_Folder

histprov - The name of the Tag Historian Provider
drv - The historian driver, which is typically a combination of a gateway name and tag provider name separated by a colon. Example: gateway:tagProvider
tag - A path to a node that has children. Typically should lead to either a folder or the root node of a UDT instance. If omitted, then the path will lead to the root of the drv,

While providing a path to this property, the tag component can be omitted, which will set the starting path for the Tag Browser panel to the root of a particular driver. For example:

histprov:Sample_SQLite_Database:/drv:My_Gateway:My_Tag_Provider:/

value: string

Note: Changing the pointCount property's value to -1 will retrieve pen data points as it is stored in the database. In other words, this is the same as setting a Tag History binding's Query Mode to "AsStored". While querying data with this mode, multiple value changes at the same timestamp will result in multiple rows, one row for each unique value.
