Chart Pro – How to set ArchiveCode for a custom (user-defined) archive

[Daniel1113]

Hello,

I created a custom historical archive (1-second writing period) registered in Secondary Tables > Archives with Code=”Sec” and Bit=16. I confirmed it works – the channel’s decimal archive value becomes 65536 when only this archive is enabled, and I can retrieve correct data by calling the internal API directly:

http://localhost:10008/Api/ChartPro/GetFixedChartData?cnlNums=201&timeOffset=…&periodMs=…&archiveBit=16

However, when I set <ArchiveCode>Sec</ArchiveCode> in PlgChartPro.xml’s DataOptions, the chart page requests archiveBit=1 (Min) instead. When I tried <ArchiveCode>16</ArchiveCode> (the bit number), it requests archiveBit=-1 and shows no data.

Environment: Rapid SCADA Webstation 6.2.3.1, Chart Pro 6.1.1.1 (trial license).

Could someone tell me the correct way to configure PlgChartPro.xml’s ArchiveCode field to point to a custom archive (not one of the built-in Cur/Min/Hour/Day/Events)? Is this supported in the current version?

Thank you.

Find the entry ‘Min’ in one of the fields of the Graphics template and replace it with your archive code ‘Sec’

Next, create a table where you will have data only for ‘Sec’, and in the table parameters, specify the line for running the Archive.

PlgChartPro_Sec20.xml=&profile=PlgChartPro_Sec20.xml

By analogy. Go to the Table, click the gear.

Hello,
In short, you should create a new chart profile. It is a file located in the Webstation configuration in the project.

1. Copy the existing file PlgChartPro.xml with a new name, and specify the archive in the new profile (DataOptions – ArchiveCode).
2. Edit PlgChartPro_Config.xml by adding a new profile.
3. Upload the project for execution.

However, when I set ArchiveCode=Sec in PlgChartPro.xml’s DataOptions, the chart page requests archiveBit=1 (Min) instead.

It sounds weird. Try creating a new profile for the Sec archive.

An archive name is shown in the chart info in the top. What archive is mentioned there?
