Grid with static and dynamic data

Use a class tag as follows

Define a class called 'MyGrid' with the following members 'Name', 'DownTime' and 'UpTime'

Define a new project tag called 'GridData' with the data type 'MyGrid'

In your Startup Script add the following

$GridData[0].Name = "Machine A"
$GridData[1].Name = "Machine B"
$GridData[2].Name = "Machine C"

Thank you:)

Hi,

I need to make a grid like an attached file what is very simple but the data in description field are fix and the data in value field should read from tag!

E.g. Imagine I have 3 machine and I want to monitor their uptime / downtime like :

MachineName Uptime downtime

Machine A Value Value
Machine B Value Value
Machine C Value Value

If I use class tag , I have to make tag also for machine name what is fix.

May be the solution is to make a fix value for the mentioned tag! but I dont know how to do this!

How can I make this kind of grid?!

Thanks

When using a text file as the data source, you can only use tags for the column labels. Not the data in the text file.

Hi,
Thank you for fast reply.

however I do not agree to surrender in front of the goal,
Could you advise which option could be used to obtain a grid with all types of Alarms for the device like a Temperature transmiter?

Thank you

1. If your goal is to be able to display live data, or edit tag values, then the easiest option would be using a class tag. (negative: uses a lot of tags)

2. If you just want to display static information, then you could use the report function (or vbscript file functions) to generate a text file with the data you wish to display in the grid. (negative: more difficult to implement)

3. If you have database experience, that option may offer the most flexibility. (negative: most difficult to implement)

4. Another possibility is using custom properties and .mne files. (this is what I use for faceplates)

You could use option 2 to display the data and option 4 to edit the data.

Thank you Norman E for the above comment.
It was very helpful for my project also, regarding column Label.
