5.6 Trend Viewer 5.6.1 General information about Web Trend Viewer Trend Viewer creates graphs from live data-point logging or from stored data point information. The system therefore distinguishes between "online trend" and "offline trend". The description below deals primarily with online trend logging, as this can be created by the user of Desigo WEB and used for analysis purposes.
The navigation bar in Trend Viewer The navigation bar in Trend Viewer allows you to create and configure new trend views or select existing views. In some of the selected trend views, certain symbols are available only in online or only in offline mode.
