Vision Library+ OverviewVision Library+ is a suite of custom symbols and toolbar extensions for AVEVA PI Vision (formerly OSIsoft PI Vision). It extends the built-in PI Vision symbol set with advanced data-entry controls, enhanced charting and analytics, and operator-experience tools that are not available out of the box.Getting startedVision Library+ adds symbols and toolbar tools to the PI Vision display editor. Use this chapter to choose a symbol, add it to a display, and find the settings that affect operators.Symbol guideThe symbol guide is organized by operational task. Each category begins with a selection table, followed by articles that use the same setup, usage, configuration, and troubleshooting structure.
Category overviewCharts & analysisUse chart and analysis symbols to compare trends, distributions, repeated periods, asset performance, and process relationships without leaving PI Vision.Combo Chart+Combo Chart+ combines line, area, scatter, and bar traces with optional event, statistical, and summary information.Asset Comparison Bar Chart+Asset Comparison Bar Chart+ compares attributes across AF assets as grouped or stacked bars.Event Analytics KPIEvent Analytics KPI summarizes an event-frame search as one or more key performance indicators.Box Plot+Box Plot+ summarizes the distribution of time-series values and can overlay reference traces for comparison.Heatmap+Heatmap+ displays values in a two-dimensional color grid to reveal patterns across time and data sources.Histogram+Histogram+ groups numeric values into bins to show their frequency distribution over a selected period.Pie Chart+Pie Chart+ shows how numeric values contribute to a whole. Choose a pie, donut, half-donut, or polar layout and display names, values, or percentages in the legend and labels.Waterfall Chart+Waterfall Chart+ shows how sequential positive and negative contributions change a starting value into a final total. Each data source is displayed as either an absolute total or a relative change.Sankey+Sankey+ shows the magnitude and direction of flows between configured nodes. Use it to visualize material, energy, utility, or cost flows through a process.Radar Chart+Radar Chart+ compares several attributes across one or more AF assets on a common radial scale.Asset TreemapAsset Treemap displays a hierarchy of assets as nested boxes whose size and color represent configured values.ProfileView+ProfileView+ displays cross-directional scanner measurements as a time-based heatmap for monitoring profile uniformity.Duval TriangleDuval Triangle plots dissolved-gas measurements to help qualified users classify transformer fault regions.FFT+FFT+ transforms time-series data into a frequency spectrum for identifying periodic components.Period Comparison Chart+Period Comparison Chart+ overlays repeated time periods so operators can compare current behavior with historical or baseline periods.
Category overviewEvent Frames & downtimeUse Event Frame symbols to investigate batches, downtime, excursions, and other process events while their timing and PI System context remain visible.Events Table+Events Table+ displays event-frame search results with filtering, grouping, editing, comparison, and export tools.Event Analytics Chart+Event Analytics Chart+ aggregates event-frame data into configurable chart dimensions, values, arguments, and series.Event Comparison Chart+Event Comparison Chart+ aligns event-frame time series so operators can compare event behavior, markers, and reference events.Event Filter+Event Filter+ provides display controls that filter compatible event-analytics symbols by selected event fields.Gantt Chart+Gantt Chart+ displays event frames on a timeline so operators can compare duration, overlap, and sequence.Event Analytics PieEvent Analytics Pie groups event-frame results into proportional slices using configurable arguments and series.Event Analytics PivotEvent Analytics Pivot aggregates event-frame results into a row-and-column table.PlaybackThe Playback Tool lets you systematically replay historical data in PI Vision. Unlike the standard time bar, it provides precise control over the display window size, step increments, and playback speed — making it well suited for Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and detailed process reviews.
Category overviewData entry & tablesUse data-entry and table symbols to capture readings, notes, samples, and structured records while the operating context stays visible.Manual Data Entry+Manual Data Entry+ lets authorized operators enter, validate, import, and review time-series values in a grid.Manual Input Table+Manual Input Table+ combines historical values and editable rows in a table for controlled PI System data entry.Quick Input+Quick Input+ writes one operator-selected value to a PI Point or AF attribute using a control suited to its data type.AF Table+AF Table+ displays an AF table and can filter its rows by display time or attribute values.Time Series Table+Time Series Table+ presents recorded or calculated values in rows with sorting, filtering, grouping, multi-state styling, and export.Asset Comparison Table+Asset Comparison Table+ compares selected attributes across a configurable set of AF assets.Manual Input Form+Manual Input Form+ presents writable values as an operator form with configurable controls, grouping, validation, and auditing.
Category overviewNavigation & display controlsUse navigation and display controls to help users move between displays, assets, time ranges, and related content without losing operational context.Navigation Menu+Navigation Menu+ provides reusable links to PI Vision displays, URLs, and asset-context destinations.DateTime Picker+DateTime Picker+ gives operators buttons or date controls for changing the PI Vision display time range.Web View+Web View+ embeds an iframe-compatible website or PI Vision display inside the current display. It can also open content in a dialog or present several pages as tabs or an automatic slideshow.Asset Select+Asset Select+ lets an operator choose an AF asset and apply it as display context.Navigation ButtonNavigation Button opens an external website or another PI Vision display. It can pass the current time range and AF asset context so the destination opens with relevant operational context.
Category overviewAlarms & statusUse alarm and status symbols to make current conditions, equipment states, locations, and response signals easier to recognize at a glance.Value+Value+ displays a PI Point or AF attribute value and adds configurable tooltips, copy-to-clipboard support, multiline text, and floating ad-hoc trends to the standard PI Vision value experience.Linear Gauge+Linear Gauge+ shows one or more process values on a horizontal or vertical scale. Use markers or bars to show each value and add multi-state ranges when operators need to see the current operating band.Radial Gauge+Radial Gauge+ shows a current value on a circular scale with configurable ticks, labels, ranges, and multi-state colors.Alarm Sound+Alarm Sound+ provides a visible and audible alarm that an operator can acknowledge while the alarm condition remains active.Map+Map+ plots assets and values on a geographic map with labels, clustering, lines, views, and multi-state styling.Alarm Table+Alarm Table+ collects current alarm conditions in one table and supports acknowledgement, sound, filtering, and contextual actions.
