Performance Equation not behaving as expected

I have 9 performance equations set up to monitor when another tag reaches a value above 5. My understanding was that they were working as intended, but recently a colleague of mine informed me that there are discrepancies between the monitored tag and the result of the performance equation. I can't find whats wrong with them and I hope that someone can help me or guide me in the correct direction.

 

The tag is setup as follows:





From that I get the following expected results and actual results:

Looking closer at the timetamp of the actual performance equation, it actually seems that the timestamp is 1-2 seconds before the event tag and the performance equation could be evaluated before the triggering event.

This does not appear to be intended behaviour. From the docs: Event-based scheduling

I'll probably end up "fixing" it by switching to clock scheduling every 30 min with a 2 min offset, but I am still curious as to why this happens.

  • For clarification, if a calculation is referred to as a "performance equation", most people will assume that is a calculation performed by the PI-PESched service.

    An analysis is performed by the 'PI Analysis Service'

    If your analysis is only looking at one input, then event based should be the correct option. For the time period in question, use the 'Preview Results' to see what happens.

    Also, the data shown is from July 2024; has something changed in the process between then and now?
