You add the Data Grid to the relevant Group in the database. You then use the Data Grid's configuration Form to define its basic configuration.

see Add a Data Grid

see Configure the Properties on the Data Grid Form.

You use the Data Grid's Editor to define the fields and rows that make up the Data Grid's table (see Edit a Data Grid).

You use the Editor to add the required number of fields and rows to the Data Grid (see Add Fields to a Data Grid, and see Add Additional Rows to a Data Grid).

You then use the Field Properties window to configure the properties of each field in the Data Grid. The fields appear as column headings in the Editor.

Next, you populate the cells in each field.

You can enter the contents of each cell using an Expression Editor, or you can drag the relevant tags from the Database Bar or OPC Data Bar into the Data Grid's cells. You can also drag tags from the OPC Historic Data Bar, or use the Tag and Historic Tag options to select the tags you require.

see Use the Field Properties Window.

You can use various functions in the expressions that you configure in the Data Grid's cells. In this particular example, the AVERAGE function is used to calculate the average current and previous values of all four sensors.

Additionally, the cells in the ChangeInSensorValue column (field) use basic arithmetic to calculate the difference between each sensor's current and previous value.

The names of the fields used in the calculations appear as column headings in the Data Grid Editor. The rows used in the calculations are displayed down the left-hand side of the Editor.
