Introduction |
This panel is used to set up the PVSS value range configuration for one or many data point elements. If the panel is used for just one data point element at a time, the panel shows the current state of the PV range config when loaded. The user can choose from the min-max range, value set or pattern match types of PV range. |
|
Instructions | When configuring the PV range for a data point element (or elements) you should first choose the type of PV range that you want to use from the combo box near the top left of the panel. The options are "None", "Min-Max Range", "Value Set" and "Pattern Match". When you have selected the required PV range type, the relevant options will appear. For Min-Max Range PV ranges, type in the minimum and maximum values of the range you want to specify. You then need to check or uncheck the "inclusive" check boxes to specify if you want the limit value to be included in the range or not. There is an "inclusive" check box for both the lower and upper limit. For Value Set PV ranges, enter the values that you want in the value set and add them to the list of values displayed. By default, an original value which is found in the value set is considered to be within the PV range. For Pattern Match PV ranges, enter the pattern that you wish to match against the original value. By default, a matching value is considered as being within the PV range. For all PV range configurations, you can choose to invert the range (so values in the range are bad and values outside the range are good) and you can also choose to ignore values outside the range. These options are selected from the check boxes in the bottom left of the panel. Once you have entered the required settings, press OK or Apply to save the configuration. To delete the PV range configuration on the data point element(s), select "None" from the PV range type combo box and then press either OK or Apply. |
|
Restrictions | Particular types of PVSS value range can only be set on certain types of data point elements. The panel does not, for example, allow a pattern match PV range config to be set for a float data point element. If you load the panel for a collection of data point elements, the panel will not allow you to configure the PV range configs if the data point elements support different PV range types. So, for example, if the panel is used to configure a float element and a string element, the PV range will not be able to be configured because the string data point element supports different PV range types to the float. You can press the "Select Elements" buttons to choose which data point elements to configure from the list that was passed to the panel. |
