  1. PI-ProcessBook Developer Chris Coen Brian Bostwick

  2. Overview • PI-ActiveView • PI-ProcessBook Object Model • Batch Trend and SQC Chart • Developing for ProcessBook

  3. PI-ActiveView • ActiveX Control • Use in and develop with • MS Internet Explorer • MS FrontPage • Visual Basic • MS Office

  4. PI-ActiveView Scripting • Locally configure the PI Server settingsPBD.ServerIniUrl • Change the Display PBD.DisplayURL • Wait for the ready state,pbReadyStateComplete • Access the Display object model

  5. Deploying PI-ActiveView • Setup kit or Cab files • Build Cabs with the CabWizard • Collects the modules to deploy ActiveView • Includes necessary PI Server information • Stamps with your digital signature • Includes additional components

  6. ActiveView Examples • Samples installed with the product • Additional Samples on product CD or OSISoft.com • The HTML produced by Export.pdi

  7. Overview • PI-ActiveView • PI-ProcessBook Object Model • Batch Trend and SQC Chart • Developing for ProcessBook

  8. New with PI-ProcessBook 2.1 • Various automation fixes • No more display flickering • The Trend includes a Format Object • Create trends with zero traces • Tag Access, Multistate objects

  9. Batch Trend 2.1 Run time • Enumerate LiveBatches and their associated Traces • Manipulate Cursors and view Time, Value and Batch information • Events • Mouse events • DataUpdate(Batch and Trace) • BatchComplete(Batch)

  10. Batch Trend 2.1 Configuration • Access configuration by Get/SetDefinition • Configure FixedBatches • Set the Query for batches • Add/remove Tags and Aliases • Configure the Time settings • Adjust the trend’s formatting

  11. SQC Chart 1.2 (Coming Soon) • Access configuration by Get/SetDefinition • Set the Chart Tag and Chart Type • Full control of the sampling parameters • View and configure the control limits • View and configure Alarm settings

  12. Overview • PI-ActiveView • PI-ProcessBook Object Model • Batch Trend and SQC Chart • Developing for ProcessBook

  13. Working with Symbols • Configure an object using its Properties and Methods • Respond to and object’s Events Code Demo

  14. What just happened? • How to change a batch trend’s fixed batches • Reusable UI with the BatchView Control • Reusable code with the BatchView Object • Use the same script for two trends • Easy to add feature to other trends because the code is partitioned But . . . What if I have 100 trends?

  15. With Events • Scripting events for object references Dim WithEvents <varname> as <object type> • Write code for a class of objects Code Demo

  16. What just happened? • Dim a global variable WithEvents • Set the variable reference on selection to attach the event handler code • One set of code is used for all trends in the display, even new ones But . . . What if I have 100 Displays?

  17. Add-ins • Based upon the COM interfaces Extensibility • Supported by • PI-ProcessBook 2.1 • PI-ActiveView 2.1 • Visual Studio • Office 2000 • Develop Add-ins using VB, VC++, VBA (and ODE)

  18. ProcessBook Add-ins • Add features to the application • Develop code that works for any display • Change the feature set for a symbol • Characterize a new symbol Code Demo

  19. What just happened? • Create and Add-in for PI-ProcessBook • Track the active Display • Track the selected Trend and select Fixedbatches • Build, run and debug • This project creates an ActiveX Dll

  20. Custom Datasets • A special type of Add-in • Extends Datasets for PB and AV • Historical with real time updates • Data is transferred via ADO Recordsets • Includes custom UI for configuration “What is he talking about . . .?”

  21. Review • Code for a Single symbol characterizes that symbol • Code for a Single Display glues together an applet • Use ActiveX Controls chunks of reusable UI • Use ActiveX DLL’s shared code and functionality • PI-ProcessBook Add-in, new features to ProcessBook “Hey, works on my machine!” 

  22. Deployment • The Package and Deployment Wizard • Steps through building a setup kit • Displays, use ODE packaging tool • Add-ins, use the VB utility • Controls may need licensing (Tip: Add-ins need MSADDNDR.DLL)

  23. Resources • OSI Developers Network • Custom Datasets white paper and sample, download from OSISoft.com • VBA Developer’s Handbook by Getz and Gilbert • MS Office Developer Magazine • MSDN.microsoft.com
