stored point name.

Develop Web Pages
To develop a Web page with FactoryTalk Historian ActiveView content:
1. Create an HTML Web page.
2. Incorporate the ActiveView Control, pbdctrl.ocx, in the HTML
page and set the control's DisplayURL property to the intended
location of the Display file.
The Display file may be placed in a separate location from the Web
page. However, the DisplayURL property of the ActiveView Control,
pbdctrl.ocx, that you set in this step must point to the exact location of the
Display file. Remember, if you want to have the displays automatically expire
from the cache, the DisplayURL property must use an HTTP address.
3. Copy files as follows:
1. Copy the Display file into the location designated by the
DisplayURL property of pbdctrl.ocx.
2. Put the Web page on the server.
If you are unsure how to create an HTML page incorporating a control,
you may adapt the sample.htm in the webdev directory. It is a Web
page with an embedded ActiveView Control using VBScript. To use this
file, provide the location of the .pdi file.
Alternately, you can use a software tool, such as Microsoft FrontPageTM.
