To use an algorithm, add tag and tag groups from the analytics-lib palette’s Analytics dictionary to the station, apply the tags as a data model to the necessary components in the station, then drag an algorithm to a logic Wire Sheet and configure its object properties for your specific application.
You could use an algorithm with an analytic alert that has either a value or trend request. To process a value request or trend request, you use an algorithm with a control point on an analytic proxy extension. The control point might have an alarm extension for generating alarm records.
To help visualize when a fault condition occurred in the past without generating an alarm record, you can use an algorithm in an analytic web chart or table.
Some of the explanations in this document may assume that the analytic request is going to be a trend request, but it might also be a value request.
