IDX now offers a 1-day OSISoft training course covering PI Datalink (Excel) and ProcessBook. The course takes delegates through the basics of what the PI system is, an overview of all of the components such as Application Framework (AF), PI archives, interfaces, etc. as well as how data is stored in the system, how to search for tags. Once the delegates are up to speed with the basics, delegates are shown how to use Datalink to build Excel reports and analyze process data. Finally, delegates are shown how to use Processbook, and how to build their own custom displays.The final outcome of the course is to empower users to be able to build and edit PI Processbook displays, as well as to be able to effectively extract process data for analysis in Microsoft Excel.   A delegate learns to build PI Processbook displays
