Thanks Joel! This worked. However is there any way to make the time period dynamic. Ie. Instead of Month a user within DGLux would be able to select past 'Month, 2months, 3months or year.

I want to try to avoid creating seperate script and seperate variables for each time period.

I also was thinking if this is possible using a historical query table in DGLux? If I set the interval to 0 (when the parameter changes)
and set the period range (dynamic) and I sum the value column I believe I will end up with the count that I want.

Am I able to determine the sum of a column using a formula column and script? I have looked into using the rollup widget but have not been able to get anywhere with it.

Thanks,

Thanks Joel. I have done as suggested with the scripting source and scripting data point.
When I use the following script in the scripting source area however I am not able to push anything to my data point:

abcd = p5111.past(MONTH).get(true).starts;

In this case I have given the variable name 'abcd' to my data numeric and settable data point. and variable 'p5111' is an external context point from my PLC data source.

When I use the scripting source and a meta data point I still am not able to push the value to the point.

When I use the following script within the meta data point however I get the desired result:

return p5111.past(MONTH).get(true).starts;

Also I am unable to use 'return' in the scripting data source without getting an error.

Hi all,

Looking for help using scripts within a scripting data source. I basically would like to place all of my scripts within one scripting data source and push the results of the script to individual meta data points. I am having some trouble as it seems that I cannot create and save a meta data point without filling out the 'script' and 'external context' fields. I have tried creating data points within the scripting source, however these do not appear under the 'external context' selection field.

Specifically I am looking for a way to count the amount of times numerous binary data points change from '0' to '1' within a set time period (ie. 1 month).

Any help with how to go about doing this (including required java script) is appreciated. Thanks.

Nathan
