In this case, the value previous to the current snapshot will be archived.•The Compression Test is done by the PI Server•Compression can be turned off with the Compressing attribute+ Compdev- CompdevCurrentsnapshot< Compmax (s)Copyright © 2007 OSIsoft, Inc.7Compression Test – ExampleTimeTemperatureA: Archived ValueAAAAAAAThe compression algorithm is performed on new snapshots to determine which data is kept in the PI archivesCopyright © 2007 OSIsoft, Inc.8Compression ResultsTimeTemperatureWhen the user requests a tag-time for which the value is interpolated, the difference can be no greater than ±compdevValues kept in the PI archivesCopyright © 2007 OSIsoft, Inc.9Compression ResultsRaw values scannedTimeTemperatureAfter ExceptionAfter CompressionCopyright © 2007 OSIsoft, Inc.Data Compression – How Much Data?This highly variable data cannot be compressed by PI. Everyvalue is a pivot point for the “Swinging Door” algorithm. Allvalues are archivedThis data appears highly compressible. Probably only three or four of these values would be stored in the archive.Copyright © 2007 OSIsoft, Inc.11RecommendationsSet the Compression Deviation to the minimum change that is measurable by the instrument.Set the Exception Deviation to ½ of the compression deviationNote: these are starting point recommendations.Note: ExcMin, ExcMax, CompMin and CompMax are in SECONDSCopyright © 2007 OSIsoft, Inc.12Copyrights - Trademark statementPI is a registered trademark of OSIsoft, Inc.Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, and Microsoft NT are registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation.
