Limit Analytics to Only Write to Specific Pointsource

A useful setting for PI Analytics would be the ability to specify a specific pointsource that the Analytic service writes to. This would help tremendously to troubleshoot what tags on the PI DA server are being written to by AF Analytics.

"Outputs at Start"group

It would be nice if there were an "Output at start" option to output values at the start of an event frame. Currently there is an "Outputs at close" option for Event Frames.

Support Analysis Data Reference Step Functionality

Use case: User wants to trend Analysis Data Reference in client tools (Processbook, Coresight). User doesn’t want to create a PI tag for this output. Currently, the AnalysisDR ignores step, even if it’s input attributes are step.
