Hi, just trying to make a simple table with the first column being text and the next column being a tag. This is just to display information in my SCADA, like this:
I can get the tags into the table but I can’t figure out how to just enter text in the other column for a label.
Just as an alternative, if you’re comfortable using code you could also generate the dataset for the table using system.dataset.toDataSet.
header = ['name', 'value']
values = []
windSpeed = system.tag.read('wind speed').value
rainfall = system.tag.read('rainfall').value
windDirection = system.tag.read('wind direction').value
values.append(['wind speed', windSpeed])
values.append(['rainfall', rainfall])
values.append(['wind direction', windDirection])
table = event.source.parent.getComponent('Power Table')
table.data = system.dataset.toDataSet(header, values)
If you need to make this refresh periodically you could use a timer.
Do the same thing. Set Column to 1 and then double click the Value and type in what you want.
Edit: It looks like you did that already at the last row. You don’t need the = sign however. Is it not working?
Hi, this is code looks like it would also do what I need. Where would I write this code? Thanks!
The first column has to have a type of ‘string’, not ‘integer’.
You could put this in the actionPerformed event handler of a timer object. Make sure to use the correct path for your table.
Or just click the table dataset button next to the binding button and add the text in there.
