11.1.5 Historical Table Tab Data > Historical table
In this section you can generate summary tables for the resources registered in the historical and temporary archives Data is displayed arranged according to the instrument. You can create user-customisable display profiles to suit the resources of each instrument, the period and the type of data.
11.1.5.1 Creating a Historical table
The "Historical data table" is an instrument for consulting the data on the system stored by TelevisNet . Customised data tables can be created on the basis of the type and period of acquisition. Initially, you have to decide what data you want to display in the table and set the following elements accordingly:
Profile: choose one of the existing profiles or create a new one.
Level of detail: choose whether you want to display data from the Historical archive or from Temporary data.
Validity interval: if you choose the "Rapid" mode, you will have four preset time intervals available(Last hour, Last day, Last week, Last month). If, on the other hand, you want to set a particular time interval, you can select the "Customised" mode. In this mode you can set the date and time of the interval start and end.
Network configurations: you can select which network configuration's historical alarms you want to know about. Note that with each change to the composition of the instruments, the user instructs TelevisNet to create a new network configuration. All the valid network configurations in the selected time interval are available. The network configuration proposed as default is the most recent one in the list.
After making the setting in each field, click "Next".
The next page has a summary of all the settings chosen by the user regarding the data to be displayed in the historical data table. On the right of the page there is the list of resources that will be taken into account when creating the table and the user will have the possibility of selecting or deselecting all the available resources.
For each resource displayed in the summary table it is possible to select the colour used ton be used to represent its trend in the graph.
If no colour is selected, grey will be used.
After making the setting in each field, click "Next" again.
To go back the previous page and change the display settings, click "Back". When "Next" is clicked the historical data table will be displayed, based on the specifications chosen by the user.
As described above, click "Back" to reset the display attributes. At this point, you can enter a name in the text box and click "Save" to save the settings, thus creating another Display profile.
Click "Export", on the other hand, to have the possibility of opening and saving the table in Excel.
Finally, if you click on "Historical Chart" in the navigation bar, you will be able to view the graph of the data selected and represented in the table.
11.1.6 Historical Chart Tab Data > Historical chart
The "Historical data chart" functionality allows you to generate summary graphs of the resources stored in the historical and temporary archives.
A graph of data taken from the historical data can be created in two different ways. In the first way, follow the same guided procedure as in the "Historical data table" functionality. In the second way, you can convert the table data selected in "Historical Table" into a graph by clicking on the "Historical Chart" link in the navigation bar when a table is being displayed.
Whichever way you use, the end result will be the display of a historical chart, in which there is:
A section showing the summary of the selections made in the previous pages, together with an input box for assigning a name to the new profile. Make reference to the legend on the left of the page when reading the values in the graph.
A "Print" button for printing the displayed graph.
An "Advanced" button to access a configuration page where you can edit the graph's properties. The background and grid colours can be changed and the axes positions altered. The analogue graph allows you more than one ordinate axis (automatically generated by adding resources associated with more than one unit of measurement). In this panel you can also set an alternative background colour for the graph, linked to one of the digital resources included in the graph. Every time the resource changes state the background of the graph will also change to the highlight colour. After selecting the new settings, click "OK" to confirm the changes, or "Cancel" to exit without saving. The graph may be divided into a number of pages depending on the "Period per page" setting. The "Chart on single page" selection box allows you to compress the whole graph into a single page. The arrow buttons under the graph let you move from one page to another or go directly to the first or last pages.
NOTE: The graph does not interpolate data. If any data is missing the line of the graph is interrupted and re-appears at the next valid datum.

11.2.2.2 Notification message structure
Notification messages are made up of a header and a body. The header is a compact version of the text and is used in SMSs where the number of characters available is limited. The extended header+body structure is used for fax and E-mail messages.
The header structure is as follows:
[NID]:<NOME IMPIANTO>: Serial_Number:<FAA>:<DEA> <Controllore>: start <risorsa> DD/MM/YY HH MI:SS [NID] is the notification's ID.
The body has the following structure:
Context
<Risorsa 1> = - UM Value
<Risorsa 2> = - UM Value
<…>
<Risorsa n> = - UM Value
The resources shown in a notification message are all the resources of the controller that are not alarms. All the user-editable variables are enclosed between <>.
