Panel Name

fwTrendingExportFileSelector.pnl

Introduction

This panel is used to choose the file to which the plot data should be exported.

Instructions

You can either type a full path name for the export file or you can just specify a file name, in which case the file will be saved into your project path.

Or, you can press the file selector button to choose an existing file or find the path to the new file that you require.

Export only visible curves Export the data only for thoe curves that are plotted on the trend. The values of the curves that are hidden are not exported.

Fill empty cells with previous value By default (unchecked) the values are only exported for each data point element with the time stamp of the time they actually changed. Using this approach, because the data point elements are unlikely to change all at the same time, there will be some empty cells in the resulting file where some values were not changing. By checking the check box, a value is written for each data point element at every time stamp, whether or not that specific value changed at that time. This means there will be no emtpy cells which makes analysis easier, but it is important to understand that there has been some 0th order interpolation between actual values that were received by PVSS.

Open exported file in Excel Open Excel after exporting the values.

Once the file name and export method have been selected, you can click OK to continue with the export of press Cancel to end the process without exporting any data.

If you want that by default, DFS or AFS user folder appears as suggested destination you could enable this feature called User's folder in fwTrendPlotConfPanel.pnl panel.
