Vision 2021 Exportable "Readable" Display Format not readable

Christoph Rose

The Offline Display Files added with PI Vision2021 are encoded in some manner and not directly readable. Is there any documentation available as to how the file is encoded? It would be extremely useful and powerful and open a huge number of use-cases if that information were available.

    The PDIX file is a zip file. If you rename it to use a zip extension, you can open it in Windows Explorer or another program that supports zip files. FYI, this is the same approach Microsoft uses for its Office documents (docx, xlsx, pptx, etc.).

    Oh wow. This is brilliant:

    {
    "Symbols": [
        {
            "DataSources": [

    "DisplayProperties": {

    },

}

    I think you guys can't imagine what kind of a game changer this is.

     

    I'm serious, this is better than Christmas.

    I know the Events Table has changed and I'm pretty sure the Asset Comparison Table did as well. But we do support upgrading, so the older formats should still work and be upgraded as needed.
