Vision - Status Chart
Component Palette Icon:
Description​
The Status Chart component allows you to visualize the status of one or more discrete datapoints over a time range. The X-axis is always a timeseries axis, and the Y-axis is a category axis, with one entry per data series. The chart is populated with a single dataset, the first column of which must be a datetime column.
Wide vs Tall Datasets​
In Wide format, all of the columns but the first must be numeric. These "series" columns' headers will be used as the names on the y-axis. In Tall format, there should be exactly 3 columns. The first is the timestamp, the second is the series name, and the third is the value. For example:
Wide Format​
| t_stamp | Valve1 | Valve2 |
|---|---|---|
| 2010-01-13 8:00:00 | 0 | 2 |
| 2010-01-13 8:02:00 | 0 | 2 |
| 2010-01-13 8:04:00 | 1 | 2 |
| 2010-01-13 8:06:00 | 1 | 1 |
| 2010-01-13 8:08:00 | 0 | 1 |
Tall Format​
| t_stamp | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 2010-01-13 8:00:00 | Valve1 | 0 |
| 2010-01-13 8:00:00 | Valve2 | 2 |
| 2010-01-13 8:02:00 | Valve1 | 0 |
| 2010-01-13 8:02:00 | Valve2 | 2 |
| 2010-01-13 8:04:00 | Valve1 | 1 |
| 2010-01-13 8:04:00 | Valve2 | 2 |
| 2010-01-13 8:06:00 | Valve1 | 1 |
| 2010-01-13 8:06:00 | Valve2 | 1 |
| 2010-01-13 8:08:00 | Valve1 | 0 |
| 2010-01-13 8:08:00 | Valve2 | 1 |
Color Mapping​
Apart from getting the data into the series chart, the only other commonly configured option is the mapping of discrete values to colors. This is done in the Status Chart Customizer. Each named series can have its own mapping of colors, if desired. These mappings are stored in the expert-level dataset property Series Properties Data so they can be altered at runtime.
You can bring up a context menu for this component when right-clicking on it either in the Designer's Preview Mode or in a Vision Client. See the Charting - Right Click Menu page for more details.

Scripting​
See the Vision - Status Chart Scripting Functions page for the full list of scripting functions available for this component.
Event Handlers​
Event handlers allow you to run a script based off specific triggers. See the full list of available event handlers on the Component Events page
Customizers​
The Status Chart component has its own customizer, used to set a number-to-color mapping for each series in the Series Data property.
Status Chart Customizer - Property Description​
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Series | Selectable list of all objects in the Series Data property.
|
| Properties Table | The number-to-color mapping for the selected Series. |
| Value | A numeric value to match against. |
| Color | The color to display for the given value. |
| Apply To All | Set all of the Series mappings to the currently selected mapping. |
Examples​
This example uses the Status Chart to display the state of each of the three machines over consecutive days using the Muli-State button. Tag History was turned on to record history HOA values. The Series Data property's dataset populates the Status Chart using a Tag History Binding. You can view the raw data by clicking on the Dataset Viewer 
icon to the right of the Series Data property. Each color represents a state for the machine and can be set in the Series Properties Data property. This example also has the raw data in the code block in case you want to try it for yourself.

Series Properties Data - Dataset Viewer​
Each machine has three states, and each of the three states (i.e., HOA) have different colors assigned representing a different state.
