Create a Trend Chart

The following feature is only available if you have the RSTrendX Active X control resident on your computer.
A trend logs the data for more than one address (typically related) over a period of time. Contrast this with a
histogram which logs the data contained in a single address over a period of time.
Create a chart
You can create a trend while offline or online.
1 Click the Trends folder in the project tree.
2 Click the right mouse button and select New from the menu.
3 Type a name for your trend chart in the Trend Name field. Then click OK to create an empty chart. The
name can be up to 80 characters in length. An icon for the new chart appears under the Trends folder in the
project tree. Whenever you want to open the trend chart double-click the icon. Trends are saved with the
project. Logged data is not retained.
Add pens (addresses) to the chart
1 Double-click the newly created trend icon to open the chart.
2 Drag addresses from the ladder or data tables to the trend while offline or online. The address does not need
to have live data.
You can:

Drag entire rungs by clicking on the rung number and dragging it to the trend chart.

Drag addresses by clicking the address in the ladder and dragging them to the trend chart.

Drag all the addresses related to a mnemonic (for example a timer's done, enable, accumulator, and preset
) by dragging the entire instruction.

Drag addresses from the data tables.

Drag symbols from the Address/Symbol editor or Address/Symbol picker.

On the left side of the trend chart, trended address (pens) are identified by their tag name (symbol). So, if you
have provided a symbol name for an address, you will see the symbol name identifying the pen. If no symbol
was defined the address is displayed. To learn more about what is displayed on the trend chart click here.
Features
The Trend Active X Viewer supports a Manual and an Automatic (unsolicited) mode for updating the Viewer
data. In the Automatic mode the Viewer grabs the latest pen values at the controls refresh rate. In the manual
mode the pen values are updated based on some external trigger (timer). Choose either mode by right-clicking
within the grid and selecting Chart Properties from the menu. Then on the Config tab select the control button
for either mode under General Chart Operation.
You can modify a pen's properties (color, line width) or customize scaling and axis properties. Click the help
button on any dialog within the control to access help for that specific feature of the RSTrendX Active X control.
