9.22.5 Trends Plot

The following section provides information on a Trends Plot and its configuration.

Overview

The Trends Plot provides a graphical representation of the change of value of an

object over a period of time. In order to view the change of value graphically, you

must assign a Trend View Definition as a name filter to the Plot. You cannot add a

Condition Filter to the Trends Plot.

Example

Let us assume that you want to track the change of value of an Analog Input object

graphically over a period of 10 hours. For this you must create a Trends Plot.

Steps for Configuring a Trends Plot

 You have created a Trend View Definition with the Analog Input object.

1. Create a new report definition [➙ 262] with a Trends Plot inserted.

 A Trends Plot is inserted in the report definition.

2. From the System Browser, drag-and-drop the Trend View Definition to the

Trends Plot. This acts as a name filter to the plot.

3. Specify the time period by adding a Time Filter to the plot. Perform the

following steps to add the Time filter:

a. Right-click the Trends Plot, point to Filters and select Time Filter. The Time

Filter dialog box displays.

b. Select the Relative option.

c. Select the Last or Current Period option, depending on the data requirement

for the last 10 hours or current 10 hours. For more information regarding setting

the time period, see Time Filter [➙ 243]. In this case, we will obtain the data for

the current 10 hours by selecting Current Period and specifying 10 hours.

d. Click OK.
