What do you consider to be the best solution for including a bar chart into a PcVue mimic:
1. Using a 3rd party ActiveX control which is filled with archived data from VBA (Trend ActiveX thread).
Advantages/Disadvantages:
+ Very powerful and free configurable
- Programming effort
2. Using bargraph animation in PcVue.
Advantages/Disadvantages:
+ Simple and realized with the native means of the PcVue HMI
+ WebVue compliant
- Number of bars to display must be fixed (Days of week = 7, Months of year = 12, ...), because adding/removing symbols at runtime is complex
3. Use the new TrendViewer features in PcVue 10.1 (reading an array of points from a file and use non-interpolated mode).
Advantages/Disadvantages:
+ Simple and realized with the native means of the PcVue HMI
+ WebVue compliant
- Not available yet.
4. Wait for the new features of DataVue.
Advantages/Disadvantages:
- Not clear if this could solve the problem.
- Not available yet.

In my opinion 3 is the best.
No disavantage if you take the time to develop it properly with beta version while the release version appears 🙂
