For using ibaDaVIS v3.1.x you need an ibaDaVIS license with a valid EUP date of 2024-03-25 or later.

What’s new in this version?

New Features

Read Time Period data and Database data

1. Read time period data You can now select HD time period stores as a data source for table tiles. You can activate the HDQ download for the displayed HD time period data in the table. The option to activate the download of time periods can be found in the table options of the tile. In addition, the data displayed in the table can also be exported as a CSV file.

2. Display options for time periods in line chart You can use the line chart tile to display data from a time-based HD stores. There are special display options that are available if a time-based store is available and refers to the displayed signal data from ibaHD-Server.

3. Manual selection of time period data If you add a table in a dashboard that displays data from a time period store and a line chart that displays data from the associated time-based HD store, the selection of a row in the table affects the data displayed in the line chart. The line chart only displays the signal data that matches the selected time period in the table.

Visualization Features

1. Live Visualization The interval for the automatic update of a dashboard can now be set to a minimum of 1 second. By using this feature, ibaDaVIS can now also be used for new applications such as the live visualization of HD data in a pulpit or live visualization on mobile devices.

2. Dark mode for dashboards The dashboard can now be displayed in “Dark Mode”. The option to switch between light and dark mode is a user-specific option can be set for all dashboards in the user profile.

3. New tile type radar chart The radar chart (also known as a spider chart, web chart, star chart or funnel chart) is a graphical method for displaying multivariate data in the form of a two-dimensional chart of three or more quantitative variables displayed on axes. The axes start from the same point. You can use the Radar chart tile to display data from database tables, ibaHD-Servers or DAT files. Use the radar chart, for example, to display statistical data such as maximum, minimum and average values of several selected columns or signals.

4. Conditional coloring of signals Data in the line chart can now be displayed in different colors depending on the configured conditions. The color can be changed by the signal data (e.g. areas of a signal in which a limit value has been exceeded can be displayed in a different color) or by an additional parameter such as material type or customer name.

5. New line style option In the line chart, you can now change the line style of selected signals via the signal settings of the tile.

6. Visualization of statistical data using the value display By default, the value display tile shows the last value of the selected signal or column value. In addition to this value, further statistical information for numerical values such as maximum, minimum, standard deviation or median can now be displayed in each cell of the value display. The selected additional values are displayed below the main value.

7. Bar chart – new display options to aggregate data over time The data displayed in the bar chart can now be aggregated over time using different time intervals. The data within the time range can be aggregated and visualized using sub-time ranges, e.g. the hours within a day or the days within a week.

8. Scatter chart – connect displayed points in relation to time The scatter chart enables the visualization of numerical data. The data can be read from DAT files, HD tables or event- and time-based HD stores. The selected signal or column data is displayed by default in chronological order as a scatter chart with time as the X-axis. Each signal or column can be assigned to an X-axis. The scatter chart is changed according to the new settings and the relational scatter chart is displayed.

9. New display option for Y-axes The axis settings of the line chart now offer the option of displaying the Y-axis on the right-hand side.

10. Tables can be sorted across multiple columns You can now sort tables not just by one column, but by several columns. The sort order is indicated by a small number in the column header together with the sort direction. To remove a sort filter, click on Unsorted.

Data Handling Features

1. Calculate virtual signals from different data sources Virtual signals can now be calculated from data from different data sources. You can combine signals from DAT files with data from the associated index table and display the results in diagrams or use them in other virtual functions. The same function for calculating and visualizing data is available for HD time periods and the associated time-based HD store signal data.

2. Display of time-based HD data in modules and groups You can sort signals from time-based HD stores according to different modes in the signal tree:

o Module-based

o Linear sorting by module and signal number

o Grouped according to the logical groups specified in ibaPDA

3. Structure of the signal tree is improved Previously, signals from a DAT file and columns of the data from the database tables were displayed in separate signal trees. From version 3.2.0, the column names of the database index table are displayed as selectable signals in a separate, expandable folder. You can select any of the signals to be displayed in diagrams. Data from any data source can be used in all tile types, as long as the value type is supported. In addition, the concept of the table data and the DAT file corresponds to the relationship between the HD time period data and the referenced time-based signal data of the HD store.

4. Display data from DAT file info fields In addition to the signal data, DAT files also contain meta information as info fields. The number of info fields and the values vary depending on the application. Nevertheless, the tile for the value display can now also display the info field data from the DAT files in addition to the signal data. The signal tree also provides the info fields as text channels. You can select the info fields in a similar way to the signal data in order to visualize them in the value display.

5. Filter options for text columns In the Table, Pie chart and Bar chart tile types, text columns can be used to display or group the displayed data. You can create filters based on values from text columns by interacting with the table, pie chart or bar chart. Entered filter values are used as dashboard filters. Filter operators have been implemented to make the filter results more precise: The “Equals” operator returns results that exactly match the entered filter text value, the “Contains” operator returns results that contain the filter value in the text.
