Details

Wonderware's OnLine Historian has a default user interface for data visualization called InSight and is accessible from most any browser. There is also mobile access to this data repository from mobile devices via the SmartGlance Apple or Android app. However, advanced users may need to create a custom interface such as in Sharepoint or other portal or even in Wonderware's InTouch interface.

The API is fully documented and examples can be found in the InSight online help. 

EXAMPLE

This requires that you login to your InSight solution before issuing chart generation commands via the browser.
