the time range are retrieved from the FactoryTalk Historian archive or
calculated to create the resulting function array.
End Time
The end of the time range, frequently expressed as the current time, where
the Start Time is the current time minus a specified time interval.
Start and end times may be expressed in absolute or relative terms to
establish a time range in the past, or up to and including the current time.
PI Server
An instance of a FactoryTalk Historian DataLink function runs against
only one FactoryTalk Historian/PI server. The PI Server specifies a target
FactoryTalk Historian server from a known servers list. If you do not select
a server or leave the field blank, the default FactoryTalk Historian server
(page 15) is used.
Servers that appear above the dotted line in the servers list are currently
connected; those below are disconnected.
Output Cell
Specify where you want to place the resulting function array using the
Output Cell field. If you select a cell before the function dialog or task
pane is displayed, the currently-selected cell is used as the default Output
Cell value.
The output cell value always specifies the top left corner of the function
array. If you append (page 22) time stamps and other data, keep in mind
that the data column may be shifted downward or to the right of the output
cell location, overwriting data in those adjacent cells.
If you click in the Output Cell field and then select a multi-cell array in
the spreadsheet, you can override the default display of all function results.
