Hi Tim,

You can use the Direct Access Toolbox for the analysis. Direct Access is a MATLAB toolbox that uses the OSIsoft™ PI SDK to read and write PI System data. It can be really useful for the following:

• Connects MATLAB to the PI System for reading, writing, editing, and deleting data
• Supports compressed, sampled, summary, archived, and snapshot data

Here, is the link for more details - https://www.mathworks.com/products/connections/product_detail/direct-access-toolbox-for-pi-server.html

Another, altenative is that you could MATLAB's Databox Toolbox for the achieving you requirements. The following document describes in details about how to use PI Data with MATLAB. It provides all the relevant screenshots and the codes required for the same for a new user or someone with limited experience.
