Object PmaTrendGroup (Trend group)
Description:
See:
PmaTrendGroup - Deatiled object description
The object stores the time history of variables defined on the "
Data" tab in the memory and on the computer hard disk. The storing is performed in the optional periods by the
Run,
RunTime methods. For viewing the archived data the
PmgTrendViewer object can be used, respectively either in the panel of the client PROMOTIC application or in the Web browser (
Chrome,
Firefox,
Edge,
InternetExplorer ...).
No other
Pma objects can be created in this object.
This object can be created in objects:
PmaRoot,
PmaFolder,
PmaPrototype. Multiple objects of this type can be created in such objects.
This object
adds variables into the calculation of the application size, which influences the
basic runtime licence type/size (see:
Licences for PROMOTIC runtime environment).
This object inherits properties, methods and events of the

History:
Pm9.00.00: Object name changed:
PmTrend ->
PmaTrendGroup
Pm8.02.06: In the trend variable in the "
Additional parameters" configurator, there is a new item
Additional parameters, that allows to enter different column name in the database.
Pm8.02.00: The string value of the "
Name for displaying" configurator is now localized on the Web also if the local application is switched to another language.
Pm8.01.04: Reading of large number of DBF files on application start has been accelerated.
Pm8.00.05:
Fixed bug: When saving into
Database dBase backups the time can be saved with the precision up to one thousandth second. When reading the data, the time was rounded off to seconds.
Pm8.00.04:
- The value saving period can now be set directly in the object - see the "
Autosave period [s]" configurator. It is not necessary to call the
Run method anymore.
- There is a new
data extension ExtTrend. Now it is not necessary to configure the trend data in the
PmaTrendGroup object. The trends can now be configured directly in the variable in the
PmaData object.
