Our process is writing an array of strings into an AF attribute of the same type. This AF attribute may receive information of different size (index) in time. We need to extract all the information contained in the string array (all the items) an...

Allow Asset Analytics to output to annotations

As someone who has migrated our calculations from PI ACE to Asset Analytics, we need to be able to annotate various calculation outputs in the same way we were able to with PI ACE. Please enable analyses to output annotations to various PI Tags in...

Allow event scheduling for PI Point DR attributes that use RelativeTime or TimeRange

Currently it's not possible to use attributes that are based on a PI Point Data Reference with RelativeTime or TimeRange settings as triggers for analyses with event-triggered scheduling. You get the "No valid triggering inputs found" error. The r...

Additional capabilities for rollup analyses

I find myself making analytics on child elements which by themselves have limited value, but are needed to get rollup analyses to work. This adds complexity to the design of AF. Two ideas would improve this: 1) Count # of attributes that meet a c...

AF Function Call to test for existence of a PI tag

Some Analytics fail due to a tag not existing. It is possible to test for a Bad value via the BadVal() function, however, this does not work if the tag does not exist. Consequently the equation will not run. This caused me many hours of debugging ...

Thorough Analysis service message logs

Allow Analysis timestamp override feature to output milliseconds

When using an analysis variable as the output timestamp, it appears that the actual output timestamp is floored to the nearest second, shaving off any millisecond count. This is not a huge priority on our end, but I wanted to ask in case it was a ...
