Chart Type

Displays

Line

Time-series data values. The line chart is enhanced with a new functionality, Vertical Markers. You can use this element to add vertical markers to a line chart, or delete them from or move them within the chart. For more information, refer to Vertical Markers.

Bar

Interspersed data values.

Group Bar

Data values ordered by tagname/dataset, then observation.

Pie

Data values displayed in segments of a circular chart.

Polar

Values displayed in a circle.

Stacked Bar

Individual samples stacked in one bar.

Floating Bar

A crosshair indicator used to show three values per data point, including a minimum, maximum, and average.

You should use tag-based connectors in the statistics mode and a method such as MIN, MAX,AVG (arithmetic average) or MIN, MAX,TWA (time-weighted average). If you use a SQL query with the chart, it must provide a similar data set.

Variability Bar

A floating bar of average and standard deviation data that plots process variability using plus or minus three sigma.

The chart displays two values per data point, including an average and standard deviation. You can use tag-based connectors in the statistics mode and a method such as AVG,SDV (arithmetic average) or TWA,SDV (time-weighted average). If you use a SQL query with the chart, it must provide a similar data set.

Gauge

A rotary gauge with moving needle and user-specified start and end angles.

This chart can be considered an array or grid of gauges. The size and orientation of the gauges is controlled by the following parameters:

XY

A scatter plot with crosshair indicators for data values where the first tag or data set provides the X-axis value.

The first tag is considered the X tag and the system correlates the other tags against the values of this tag.

XY Regression

An XY chart with a linear regression line on top of the scatter plot.

Strip

A chart similar to a line chart that gets current values from an SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP MII) server and displays a live trend of the values. If the page is closed, the values are not stored.

The RefreshRate parameter in the chart and the RowCount parameter in the query template control the width of the time (X) axis. The duration for the real-time trend is determined by multiplying the RefreshRate by the RowCount.

Radar

Data values in a slightly different format than in a polar chart and usually without a time axis.

You can show comparisons between multiple observations or versus target ranges.

The XAxisTickColor property controls the color of the spikes from the center of the chart. The YAxisTickColor property controls the color of the concentric polygons that mark each tick mark on the chart. The YAxisMajorTickCount controls the number of ticks.

EventHorizon

A vertical line for each time-stamped event returned from a query.

It can show the occurrence of alarms or events over a time interval. The query must return a timestamp value. You can use data mapping techniques to group events with the LabelColumns property. Each group of events is displayed in a different color.

Custom

The system draws each returned data point as a line, a single bar, or part of a group bar.

Waterfall

A variation of a stacked bar chart where each floating bar represents a number for the current X-axis period, and the position of the floating bar along the Y-axis represents a cumulative total of the previous bars.

Negative and positive values are displayed in different colors.

Horizontal Bar

A variation of the bar chart that allows the bar length to be horizontal rather than vertical.

Horizontal Group Bar

A variation of the group bar chart that allows the bar length to be horizontal rather than vertical.
