Why the data retrieved by the PI Datalink in the Excel is not the same as the data in the archive editor?

Hi everyone,

I have found that the data retrieved by the PI Datalink is not exactly the same as the archive editor. why is that? if I would like to have the same, how to do?



Is there anyone know about this? help me please.

Thanks in advance.

  • This is not correct. SMT is not rounding. Rather, Excel has introduced artificial and meaningless digts.

     

    If the tags are Float32, then SMT is correctly showing the single-precision floating point value. Excel on the other hand, will show the value as double-precision, which means the cast from single to double introduces extra digits. This is a well-known artifact of IEEE 754 floating points.
