===Parameters===

^Name^Default^Meaning^
|query||An AQL query|
|points||A list of ARDI point selectors|
|samples|1000|The number of samples in the query|

===Description===

This function loads a table of information from an AQL query or a set of ARDI points.

This layer may cause [[frame looping|frame looping]].

//Using Points//

Points are in the standard ARDI **selector** format, such as //asset name//.//property name//.

//Using AQL Query//

If the query doesn't include the **GETHISTORY** function, it will be automatically added with a time range matching the start and end time of the current [[frame|frame]].

===Example===

<code javascript>
{
   "type": "get_aql",
   "points": ["Machine.Speed"]
   "samples": 200
}
</code>

The layer above will read approx. 200 samples of machine speed data into a table.

<code javascript>
{
   "type": "get_aql",
   "query": "'Machine' ASSET 'Speed' PROPERTY VALUES",
   "samples": 200
}
</code>

Just like the above example, but this time using an AQL-style query.

<code javascript>
{
   "type": "get_aql",
   "query": "'Machine' ASSET AIPOINTS",
   "samples": 200
}
</code>

This function gets **all** of the related points about the asset called "Machine".
