    Bring back PIAttributeMaskToTag

    Please, bring back the PIAttributeMaskToTag function. It disappeared after PI Datalink 2019SP1 Patch 1. Emulating it with a VBA function calling on an AF SDK COM wrapper is a lot of work and, most importantly, much slower that a native DataLink im...

    Use /opcstopstat when both interfaces in failover pair are shut down

    We would like to have some sort of digital state such as "Intf Shut" written to all OPC tags when both interfaces in a failover pair are shut down. Currently, the /opcstopstat and /stopstat parameters (which write a specified state to all tags wh...

    Datalink Search menu not intuitive

    The Search menu in PI Datalink 2016 is confusing for users used to PI Tag searches elsewhere in the PI System. "In a row" and "In a column" are particularly confusing, as they suggest that searches are being performed within the row or column. Thi...

    For compressed data, have the option to return the tagname (for example, similar to how the count is returned at the top).

    If multiple tags are selected for 1 compressed data function, it is difficult to determine which data is associated with the tags. On behalf of Elizabeth Metzler elizabeth.metzler@enbridge.com
