Manual Data Entry (MDE) systems allow process manufacturers to enter and save manually-collected data as tags so the values can be trended or displayed alongside other operational data to provide a complete picture of quality, process, & equipment performance at the plant.
Manually logging data can be time-consuming and error-prone. dataPARC’s MDE & graphics tools unlock the power of scripting – opening the door for automations, validation, and even easier data entry.
In this webinar we’ll highlight some common applications of scripted MDE, walk you through a real-world waste-tracking MDE example using dataPARC, and show you how to implement scripting in your own MDE graphics.
In This Webinar You'll Learn to:
- Enter & save manually-collected data using dataPARC’s MDE tools
- Create new records, assign values & save MDEs with VB.NET scripting
- Use scripting for data validation, autocomplete, and other time-saving functions
- Use scripts to parse and convert a string to tags
- Use other VB.NET scripting functions, including buttons and object visibility
