Make the second parameter of PrevVal optional

Curve Function to reference attribute and internal variable values for numeric constants (x1,y1) (x2,y2) (xn,yn)

As a End User I would like the Analysis Curve Function to accept referenced attributes and internal calculation variables for numeric constants (x1,y1) (x2,y2) (xn,yn) so that the resulting y value is based on a dynamically updating curve function...

Preserve variable-attribute mapping upon attribute path change

Delay Real-Time Calculations until backfill is finished.

For recursive Analyses such as below : PrevVal(tagA,'*') + 'TagB' → output : tagA When the PI Analysis Service is down (or the node needs to be restarted), the current calculation needs to be halted until the Backfilling reaches up to the start u...

Analysis Preview Results - Remove Table and Graph
