Accessing Tag History for Further Manipulation before Displaying

Hi All,

I’m pretty new to Ignition. I have a requirement to access tag history where we store voltage values, calculate averages and show them as a chart. I know you can drag and drop historical tags onto a chart control and necessary bindings are created automatically. However, my requirement is NOT to display historical data as it is. I need to calculate averages and show them as a chart. The problem encountered is that I don’t know how to access history data within an expression of a query so that I can manipulate them. Am I doing it wrong? Any advice, directions would be highly appreciated.

P.S. Ignition version is 7.9

Best regards,
Shanaka

The tag historian has an aggregation mode of ‘Average’ and ‘Time Weighted Average’ (or something like those two). There’s a good chance you can use that to get what you need without having to do the calculations yourself.
