HyperPoint Scripting

The HyperPoint Scripting Service (HSS) is a CygNet real-time service that executes custom scripting to calculate user-defined HyperPoints based on time-specified events or a change in the point value. Although the service configuration is similar to that of the Universal Interface Service (UIS), the HSS does not collect data from external devices. You can use the CygNet Explorer client application to edit the HyperPoint scripts and view the point values.

HyperPoints are configured as any other point by using the script editor built into the Point Service (PNT). When the HyperPoint script is configured on the HyperPoint property page in the PNT editor, you can compose, edit, and run a test simulation of the script. The HyperPoint script text is stored in the PNT database.

It is recommended that you host HyperPoints using the HSS rather than a UIS. This action will eliminate performance impacts on real-time data acquisition. The maximum point count for the HSS is 500,000 points.

See CxEventIF for information about setting up and executing filtering queries using the ValueQuery object.
