General Charting Guidelines

  • You can zoom into a specific chart with a mouse select-and-drag operation. After zooming, you can reset the zoom to its original setting by selecting the Reset Zoom button.
  • You can rename the chart by selecting the title text and entering a new name.
  • Data compression necessitates initial interpolation or interpolation mode display. Use the Mode function to change your Historian sampling mode.
  • Raw data is plotted when you select the Mode as either Trend to Raw, Interpolated to Raw, or Lab to Raw. As you start to zoom in, you will see raw data points as the time interval starts becoming smaller. Historian starts returning raw points if the number of raw points in that interval are less than the sample sizes requested by the system.
  • Exporting raw or trended data can be viewed by using the Action menu. For more information on exporting data, refer to Create a Display.
