The Event Timeline is a simplified version of the Cycle Browser, which limits the viewing only on a timeline, or sequential display.
In this browser the user can simply select and view of cycle from a History Display window, then with a selection, it will open an Event Timeline in the sequential view.

Initially after a selection of a Station or Asset from the object tree, the user can select Timeline button from the quick links, or go to the left-hand side Main Menu, and click on the Data Browser button to reveal the submenu containing the Event Timeline selection.

History Display Window

This will take the user to the History Display window. This first window consists of the last 50 Cycles, with an option to look at yesterday's, todays, or a custom date selection option. The last 50 Cycles is the default view.

Color Coding

Cycles

The Cycle History Panel contains a color-coded graph that indicates cycle statuses for a selected object over a period of time.

Green (Good), Yellow (Watch), Orange (Warning), Purple ( Missing ), or Red ( Fault ). 

Good / Green -Normal, Optimum Performing Range

Watch / Yellow -Watch, Not Optimum but within defined Tolerance window.

Warning / Orange -Warning, Outside Defined Tolerance Window

Fault / Red -Fault

Missing / Purple -Missing Data due to Stoppage or Missing Input/Output. 

Design Time / Blue Line above the cycle columns.

States

Blocked

The object completes its work and is waiting for downstream objects to finish so the finished part can move out of the object.

Starved Point

The overall time the object is in a starved state. The object completed its job, and the produced part has exited the object. The object is waiting for the next part to start working.

Faulted

A motion has failed or stopped, in a result of a non Good part.

In the Yesterday, and Today View, clicking on them will allow you to choose an hour of that day to view the data.

The Custom Date, feature we'll open a calendar applet to choose a day. After that you'll have to choose the hour in which to view.

The States can be toggled On or Off. Initially, they are Off. Simply click the Show States switch, and the window will reload with the states above the Cycles.

Chart View

The chart View will allow you to look at the last fifty Cycles on a table chart.
The user can select a cycle in which it will open the event timeline for that cycle selected.
It also has a tab for States and Messages.
The state's tab will show you on a table the last 50 states based upon when they started and ended, with the duration of each state. It also has a color code.
The messages tab will display all the messages of the last fifty Cycles. This shows them as displayed with the Code, the Message, Start time, and the End time.
 In the upper right-hand side of the window will be the option to export the cycles to a download folder, and account user. This will allow the user to add or remove the columns that are displayed.

Selecting a Cycle

On the history display panel or the first screen after selection of the timeline link, it will display all the assets within in your selection. If you drill down to an Asset, it will only show that asset. If you drilled onto a station , it would show all the assets within the station.

Selecting at the higher level will take more system resources and longer to produce all the assets. The best practice would be to drill down to an asset within the object tree then go from there.

.

With your selection on the history display window, the event timeline will now open in a new window.

On the upper right-hand side how's the event timeline browser window, will be the object information. This consists of the date and time, as well as the Cycle Length, Baseline, Model, Pallet, Part Number, and any pertinent State information.

These sequences of motions are laid one on top of the other on a timeline. The object's motion times are color coded to show the status of each motion. The blue line around each motion is the Baseline.

The Baseline is the design time length for each motion.
