    Add support for multiple events with same timestamp in PI Integrator for BA

    The Integrator for BA appears to be a great fit for exporting event-based data such as Batch Interface Messages to external systems. Interpolation doesn’t apply in these cases so we can use a tag as the ‘Key’ in value mode selection. However, ther...

    Convert PI DataLink from a COM add-in to an Office Add-in

    This change will bring a few benefits: PI DataLink will become more secure. COM add-ins use ActiveX, and ActiveX is both deprecated and not secure. PI DataLink will become cross-platform. AVEVA will be able to publish PI DataLink to the Micr...

    Provide examples that use PIPutVal and PIPutValX with Office Scripts

    According to the PI DataLink documentation, PIPutVal and PIPutValX should be used only in VBA and not in regular Excel formulas. However, Microsoft and its customers are progressively phasing out the use of VBA macros to address the security issue...
