Types of InTouch trends

A historical trend shows log data collected from the past and stored in InTouch data repositories.

Using a distributed history system, you can retrieve historical data from any InTouch historical log file located on an accessible network node. The distributed history system extends the retrieval capabilities of historical trends to include remote log databases.

Real-time trends update continuously to show data as it occurs over relatively short periods. You can use WindowMaker’s Real-time Trend tool to create a trend object in a window. If the optional 16-Pen Trend tool is installed, you can also create real-time trends that show data from up to 16 tags.
