The Legend Returns: High-Performance Heatmaps with ProfileView+

The spiritual successor to the retired OSIsoft ProfileView is here. Rebuilt from the ground up for modern PI Vision, ProfileView+ delivers a blazing-fast, highly configurable heatmap designed specifically to visualize cross-directional scanner data, track variations, and monitor web quality in the Pulp & Paper industry.

Advanced Profiling, Engineered for Performance

High-Volume Data Retrieval

Massive Datasets: Handles high-density scanner data with ease, supporting up to 100,000 interpolated data points per fetch.
Smart Calculation: Utilizes time-weighted calculation bases and auto-calculated intervals to ensure your heatmap loads instantly without crashing the browser.
Custom Time Ranges: Break free from the display time. Apply custom time ranges, offsets, and durations specific to the profile you are analyzing.

Absolute & Deviation Modes

Deviation Display Mode: Instantly switch from absolute values to deviation mode. Set a Target Value to clearly see positive and negative variations from your ideal spec.
Current Value Line: Highlight the current, real-time profile over the historical heatmap with a customizable current value line.
Dynamic Scaling: Auto-sort properties, customize tick intervals, and dynamically label axes (numeric or names) to match your physical machine zones.

Integrated Statistics & Histograms

Embedded Histograms: Turn on Time-scale and Value-scale histograms to visualize the distribution of your profile data instantly.
Data Table Columns: Append a data table directly alongside the heatmap to display Average, Minimum, Maximum, StdDev, Range, and population StdDev.
Total Customization: Fully customize the UI, from background and foreground colors to font sizes and time scale formatting.

Built for Pulp, Paper, and Continuous Web Manufacturing

Basis Weight & Moisture Profiles

Visualize Cross-Direction (CD) and Machine-Direction (MD) scanner data. Quickly spot wet streaks or heavy edges across the paper web in a 2D color contour map.

Target Deviation Analysis

Use the 'Deviation' display mode to subtract the ideal target from your scanner readings. See exactly where your caliper or opacity is drifting out of specification.

Statistical Process Control

Enable the built-in tabular columns (StdDev, Range, Min/Max) alongside the heatmap to give operators exact numerical context without opening another tool.

Distribution Histograms

Toggle X/Y axis histograms to instantly see the frequency distribution of your variations over time, identifying systematic machine issues quickly.

The Heatmap Re-Imagined for Modern Browsers

Cross-Direction Heatmaps

Render high-density scanner profiles smoothly. ProfileView+ maps thousands of data points into a continuous color gradient, allowing you to track quality across the entire width of the machine.

Target Value & Deviation Mode

Don't just look at raw values. Set a Target Value (e.g., Target Moisture = 50%) and switch the Display Mode to 'Deviation' to visualize only the positive and negative variances from your ideal state.
