2014 R2 introduced the ability to have a new data type of a custom property called History Summary. This will allow the following History Statistics to be used in animations of ArchestrA graphics:

• Average
• First
• Min
• Max
• Count
• StdDev
• Integral
• PercentGood 
• Percent
• Total

This works by first creating a custom property on an ArchestrA graphic and then making it of data type History summary. For this article I used a built in slider graphic and also created a custom property to allow me to control the duration of the statistics being shown. The configuration is shown in the following picture:

In runtime it looks as follows:

dragging the slider will change the duration and the value of the statistics returned.
