FactoryTalk Historian DataLink Functions

37

Filter Expression

Add a filter expression to filter event values using a mathematical
expression, eliminating data for which the expression evaluates as

false. The filter expression is applied to the raw data from FactoryTalk
Historian (and not values that result from the calculation itself).
For example, the simple filter expression:
sinusoid < 70

would remove all values over 70 from the calculation. You can also

use any valid FactoryTalk Historian performance equation in the filter
expression to build more complex expressions to remove atypical

peaks in data values, for example.
Select mark as filtered to substitute

Filtered

as a placeholder for

each value or block of values filtered from the array based on the
filter

expression

(page 91).

Boundary Type

Specify a boundary type to determine how to handle data values near

the start and end times of the value range:

Inside (default)
Returns values at start and end times, if they exist, or the nearest

values occurring within the range.

Outside

Returns the closest values occurring immediately outside the
range.

Interpolated

Returns interpolated values at start and end times.

Auto
Interpolated, but using Inside behavior for tags with step

attributes set on Windows-based FactoryTalk Historian servers.

Count of Values

Normally the first row or column of the array includes the count of

values retrieved for the time range. Select hide count to hide the
count of values and show only retrieved values in the array.
