Process Analyst Page Templates

System Projects Reference > The StruxureWare Templates Project > Use Pages and Templates > Process Analyst Page Templates

The Process Analyst template is the default template for you to create trend pages. The StruxureWare Style project includes templates for the three following types of trend display:

SinglePA - A template that displays a single Process Analyst chart on the page. To create a default trend page for your project, please create a new page based on this template and name it "ProcessAnalyst". You can change the default page name by setting parameter [Page]ProcessAnalystPage
DoublePA - A template that displays two Process Analyst charts on the page.
PopPA - A template that displays a single Process Analyst chart on the page. The size of the page is reduced to make it suitable for pop-up pages. To create a default trend pop-up page for your project, please create a new page based on this template and name it "!ProcessAnalystPopup". You can change the default page name by setting parameter [Page]ProcessAnalystPopupPage.

The functionality of traditional trends, double trends, and popup trends are largely incorporated into the Process Analyst on the new templates.

There is a key difference between the new PA templates and the existing trend templates, which is pen assignment. The trend templates can get pens assigned to the page at both design time and runtime, but every PA template needs the pens assigned at runtime only. This can be done by calling the Process Analyst Cicode functions and pass the PAV file or individual trend pens to those functions.

There are two new items on the PA templates:

The Show/Hide Trend Statistics button shows and hides trend statistics columns in the Process Analyst.
The Std Deviation column works out the sample standard deviation value of the samples within the display area.
