Chapter 3 Collecting Performance Data
For example, if you changed the activity area availability from Data
Point to Formula, the system would disable the existing events in
the Available category, delete the events that do not have historical
data, move the events that have historical data to the Recycle Bin,
and then create new available events.
NOTE
If you delete an event from the Recycle Bin, the event and any
historical data associated with it will be deleted.
The process of creating performance parameter events consists of
the following stages:
1. Configuring the event data summary. (page 90)
2. Configuring the event trigger. (page 93)
3. Configuring the event value. (page 99)
4. Configuring the machine state / faults. (page 111)
5. Configuring the reporting. (page 113)
