Return the Values of Timestamp Data Items in Timestamp Format

PI Datalink officially supports Excel 2024

My customer is using PI Datalink with Excel2024 instead of Excel365 because policy prevents the addition or update of each person's Excel functionality. I would like to add Excel2024 to the PI DataLink Compatibility Matrix for these customers.

Allow for a timeshift of certain tags, depending on process time delay

Show the scan time broken up into days, hours, minutes, and seconds

Currently, the scan time is shown and entered in seconds. While this is simple from a programmatic point of view, it requires the user to convert their desired scan time into seconds or convert the existing scan time into terms that they understan...

UFL Connector NoReplace fuction ( Store Mode)

What we would like is a third option with UPDATE and INSERT, which prevents a new value for the same timestamp from being processed. Such as a NO REPLACE mode.
