By default, the Time Series Explorer opens in the Historical Data View. However, users can switch to the Real-time Data View by selecting the Realtime tab at the top of the graph area.
Unlike the Historical Data View, the Real-time Data View streams measurements directly from the device where the Tag is deployed, resulting in a delay of only milliseconds for each datapoint. Since data is streamed in real time as it is generated, there is no time range selection or value aggregation in this view.
The Real-time Data View live streaming 3 tags from a device
You can use the Real-time Data View to check whether a given Tag has been properly configured and is receiving data on the device.
Stream playback
To start a real-time stream from a Tag, simply click the Play button next to the Tag in the Tag list table at the bottom of the screen. If the Tag is currently receiving data, measurements should be rendering after a few seconds.
Real-time data streaming of 2 tags
To stop streaming a Tag simple click the Stop button next to the Tag in the Tag list table.
Several factors can influence whether a Tag can be successfully streamed in real-time.:
Tag must be deployed and properly configured
If the Tag relies on a Data Collector, the Data Collector must also be correctly configured.
Additionally, the Tag's resolution should be set to seconds rather than milliseconds, as finer resolutions may cause the view to struggle with updates.
