Hi, I have a situation that I have to put various signals at the screen, like attached one (at the same time the frequency and a voltage). Is there a way to put all the graphs at the same browser besides opening and arranging it at screen like the attached figure.

Thanks.

You can select multiple signals at the same time on that screen for real-time trending?

Is that what you are trying to accomplish?

Thanks,

No,

I want various signals in different charts, like a dashboard.

I would use something like Grafana - if you feed your openPDC output into openHistorian, Grafana is built-in.

FYI, after installing openHistorian, you can set it up to automatically collect all data from openPDC by following these steps:

  1. Launch openHistorian UI Manager (not web manager)
  2. Click on Inputs → Subscription Based Inputs → Create Internal Subscription from main menu
  3. Enter an “Acronym” like PDC
  4. Enter the “Hostname” for the openPDC - if on same box, this will be localhost
  5. Uncheck box for “Use Source Prefix: PDC!” - this way openHistorian tag names match exactly with openPDC
  6. Verify “Port” is 7165
  7. Click “Next”, then on the next page, click “Save”

This will start data flowing into openHistorian from openPDC, then you can run the openHistorian web manager (http://localhost:8180) and click the “Grafana” button and build dashboards with your data…

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Ritchie
