Trend requests (analyticTrend:)

Trend requests generate BITables representing a time series.

This ORD scheme is similar to the query string of a URL, where properties follow a colon, name and values are joined with an equal character, and pairs are separated with an ampersand character. For example:

slot:/Drivers/foo|analyticTrend:data=n:realPower&timeRange=lastYear

Columns

Column Description
Timestamp Reports the date and time the event occurred.
value BBoolean, BDouble, BEnum, or BString
status Reports the BStatus for the value.
ORD scheme parameter Syntax Description
Aggregation check box (if optional, and) drop-down list (property, defaults to First) or ORD parameter (aggregation=option)

If aggregation is not enabled in the binding/settings window, the aggregation value defined in the Data Definition applies to all chart bindings, reports and tables.

And returns the logical “and” of Boolean values.

Avg returns the statistical mean, which is determined by calculating the sum of all values and dividing by the number of values.

Count returns the total number or quantity of values in a combination. If you request this value on a binding in a PX view, the system counts the number of values based on the properties defined by the data source block and the algorithm’s Property Sheet.

First returns the first value in the combination.

Last returns the last value in the combination.

Max returns the highest value in the combination.

Median returns the value in the middle of a sorted combination—the number that separates the higher half from the lower half.

Min returns the lowest value in the combination.

Mode returns the statistically most frequently occurring number in the combination.

Or returns the logical “or” of Boolean values.

Range returns the statistical difference between the largest and smallest values in the combination.

Sum adds together all values in the combination resulting in a single value.

Load Factor returns the average value divided by peak value.

Std Dev returns the standard deviation of the values in the combination.

Data algorithm (or tag) name; data=algorithm or tag name Specifies the an algorithm (or tag) used to retrieve data.

The purpose of an alert is to detect a fault condition (Boolean value result). In most cases, you would pick an algorithm that has a Boolean result when configuring this property for an alert. Algorithms with a numeric or enum value greater than zero are considered true and less than zero are considered false.

This is how output from one algorithm becomes the input data source to another algorithm. The prefix for algorithms is alg:.

Data Filter, dataFlter optional NEQL query (property) or ORD parameter (dataFilter=query) Identifies data sources in the subtree of the request node. When a predicate accepts a node that contains the desired data, the system does not search the node’s subtree for additional values (including the root node).
Interval, interval optional drop-down list (defaults to the optimal number of records on reports); interval=option Refers to the BInterval component, which the framework uses to identify the time between values in a trend (time series). When specified, a rollup is required, which causes the system to combine all values that fall into a single interval.

Options range from None to a Year.

Above the drop-down list, the Use This Value check box turns on and off the check box next to Interval in the Settings window (you access this window by clicking the Edit button (Image), followed by clicking the Settings button (Image) on the chart). The availability of this check box provides an easy way for a user to enable and disable the use of intervals in chart calculations.

normalizeTime true (default) or false; normalizeTime=option Manages how time is represented.

true converts time to the time zone of the request. This preserves time properties, such as the hour of day, while changing the time zone.

false does not perform the conversion.

Rollup check box (if optional, and) drop-down list or ORD parameter (when configured in the data definition, defaults to First, when configured elsewhere, defaults to the value as defined in the Data Definition); rollup=option

If rollup is not enabled in the binding/settings window, the rollup value configured in the Data Definition applies to all chart bindings, reports and tables.

And returns the logical “and” of Boolean values.

Avg returns the statistical mean, which is determined by calculating the sum of all values and dividing by the number of values.

Count returns the total number or quantity of values in a combination. If you request this value on a binding in a PX view, the system counts the number of values based on the properties defined by the data source block and the algorithm’s Property Sheet.

First returns the first value in the combination.

Last returns the last value in the combination.

Max returns the highest value in the combination.

Median returns the value in the middle of a sorted combination—the number that separates the higher half from the lower half.

Min returns the lowest value in the combination.

Mode returns the statistically most frequently occurring number in the combination.

Or returns the logical “or” of Boolean values.

Range returns the statistical difference between the largest and smallest values in the combination.

Sum adds together all values in the combination resulting in a single value.

Std Dev calculates the standard deviation of the values in the combination.

Load Factor calculates the average divided by peak (Max) value.

timeRange timerange=option

This property is required for rollup requests (analyticRollup), trends (analyticTrend), and rollup bindings. It is optional elsewhere.

It is not used if the block’s Use Request Time Range property is true and the request specifies a time range.

Options range from From to All.

useCache optional ORD parameter true or false; useCache=option Turns on and off the use of cache memory.

true causes the framework to request cache memory for value, trend and rollup requests that take longer than 200ms to process.

false uses no cache. This property is not related to the data availability cache.

Series Name, seriesName BFormat (defaults to %node.navDisplayName-data.name%) Defines the node and tag name configured by the Data property.

The BFormat value may contain static text or scripts that use the percentage symbol delimiter, such as %node.navDisplayName%. The default value is %node.navDisplayName%-%data.name%, which resolves to the navDisplayName of the node and the name of the tag configured by the Data property, such as ”Building1-Power.”

The %data.name% script drops the tags namespace, such as “hs:” or the algorithm reference, such as “alg:.”

If you enter an invalid value, the system displays, “Problem with seriesName BFormat,” and logs a message in the station console.

The name you enter here displays as the legend and tool tip in the Web chart. If left blank, no legend displays for the tool tip.

Totalize, totalize true (true) or false or hisTotEnabled=option (ORD scheme parameter) Turns on (true) and off (false) value accumulation.

By default, the framework totalizes (accumulates) all consumption history values in charts, tables and reports. To prevent cumulative values, disable this property (set it to false).

daysOfWeek dow=option Specifies the days of the week to include.
aggStrategy aggStrategy=option Selects the missing data aggregation strategy, which defines how to handle data in a series when even a single record for an interval is missing.

Ignore Point tells the system to ignore any missing records and aggregate the values in the existing records.

Ignore Series tells the system to ignore the entire series if the record for even one interval in the series is missing.

intpAlgorithm intpAlgorithm=option (ORD scheme parameter) Selects the missing data interpolation algorithm, which defines the value to replace a missing value.

Linear Interpolation replaces a missing value by linearly interpolating the missing value.

K-Nearest Neighbor is for numeric, enum and Boolean records. This strategy replaces a missing value by calculating the majority value recorded for the item’s nearest neighbors.

knnValue knnvalue=n (ORD scheme parameter Indicates the number of neighbors to a missing data item that the interpolation algorithm should include in its calculation.
unit unit=option (unit of measure) Selects the unit name and display symbol to associate with a data source.
