    When PI AF Client is updated, update all install kits that contain PI AF Client

    A lot of times, install kits such as the one for PI DataLink contain an older version of PI AF Client than the one that is included in the PI AF Client install kit. To make things easier for customers, whenever PI AF Client is updated, consider u...

    Roll back to the older legacy installer, previous to PI System 2016 R2.

    Make a point class similar to "base", but without zero, span, or typical value

    Most of the time, zero, span, and typical value are unused, cause confusion, and/or lead to easy but costly mistakes. Typical value is probably the most useless PI Point attribute. It doesn't affect the PI system. It is just there for the user's ...
