Points Configuration
Theaddressparametersare:
- Measurement:MeasurementinwhichTagWillbeassignedinInfluxDBTable.
- IfPointisaProjectTagandmeasurement fieldisblank, MainTagName(Name definedin Edit → Tags>Objects)willbe used.
- IfPointiffromTagProviderand measurement fieldisblank,ProviderName willbe used.
- Field:FieldinwhichTagWillbeassignedinInfluxDBTable.Ifblank,TagAttibutewillbeused(element of default types, like Integer, Decimal, etc).
- UseTemplateAsCustomColumns:FlagindicatingifTemplateswhichTagbelongstowillbeusedas Custom Columns in InfluxDB Table. Default value is true.
IfPointisfromTagProviderandCheckBoxistrue,aColumncalledTagProviderPathwillbecreated with the path leading to the TagProvider asset.
- AdditionalCustomColumns:ListofUser-DefinedCustomColumns,separatedbycomma,tomapa variable in the Database.
Syntax: <ColumName>= <ColumnValue>

Example
Toillustratetheresultofasucessfullconfigurationwewillmakethefollowingassumptions.
- TheTagisstructured as:
Panel1 [Tag of Template 'Panel']
Motor1 [Tag of Template 'Motor']
AMP [Final Attribute of 'Double' Type]
RPM [Final Attribute of 'Double' Type]
Motor2 [Tag of Template 'Motor']
AMP [Final Attribute of 'Double' Type]
RPM [Final Attribute of 'Double' Type]
TheAddressisconfigured as:
- Measurement:Panel1.
- Field:””.[Leaveitblanksoourattributesareused].
- UseTemplateAsCustomColumns:true.
- AdditionalCustomColumns:Owner=PC1.
Thisconfiguration willresult inthe followingTable insideInfluxDB:
Reading Data
ToReadbackthesevalues,allyouhavetodoisuseanotherTag,ofsame "Panel" Templateanduse the same Custom Column Configuration.
Working with Arrays
