Configure Attributes for Quality Tracking
After creating or loading the new required attributes, they must be configured according to the guidelines.
Analyzers
The following table provides guidelines for analyzers.
Guidelines for Analyzers
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| MeasurementType | Attribute used to qualify the quality type of the analyzer (this value can be inherited by the Attribute template itself). |
| MeasuredAnalysis | Attribute used to configure the PI Point data reference on a PI tag containing the values for the analyzer. |
| MeasurementCount column | Attribute used to configure the PI Point data reference on the same PI Tag of the MeasuredAnalysis attribute, but with a different configuration to count the number of new values provided by the PI Tag in the current case. |
MeasurementCount is configured to count the number of new values provided by the PI Tag in the current case, therefore, it should be filled with the following string:
'=\\SERVERNAME\PITAGNAME.XX;TimeMethod=TimeRange;RelativeTime=1;TimeRangeMethod=Count;TimeRangeBasis=EventWeighted;TimeRangeMinPercentGood=5;UOM=count
