Technical Information

This solution uses the TrendChart

to visualize tag values that

change over time

while the solution is running. Each

pen (

tag value)

is displayed in a different color

on the graph

, which you can

customize, along with the legend position. All

graph

data is saved to a file with the default extension

of .csv.
In TWebBrowser, it is possible to view the content of the file, and in the settings, you can configure the

URL of the exported file

. Through this URL, the WebBrowser can access the path of the file and

display its content

.

Additionally, the file will be saved in the same path as your solution, but you can change that

by going to Displays

/ MainPage

/ CodeBehind, and

modifying the lines of code as in the example below:

@Tag.SelectedFileName = "";

@Tag.SelectedFileName = @"Path" + @Tag.OutputFilename;



bool ret = @Historian.Table.Table2.SaveToTextFile(@Tag.StartDateTime.LocalDateTime, @Tag.EndDateTime.LocalDateTime, @Tag.SelectedFileName, ',', true, true, true, 6, null);

Note that, in this code example, 'ret' stores the return of the SaveToTextFile method, indicating success (true) or failure (false).
