In the Trend Pens tab, for each pen:

  1. Enter a name of the pen in the Pen Name field.

    The pen name field must meet the following rules:

    • Only static text strings are allowed.

    • Must contain one letter.

    • The maximum number of characters is 32.

    • Valid characters are alphanumeric and special characters ($, #, _).

    • Two trend pens cannot have the same name.

    • The pen name is case-insensitive.

      A tooltip will show the configured Pen name.

  2. Enter a reference in the Reference field. Use the Ellipsis button next to the field to select the reference.

    The reference is the data source that appears as the value shown by the trend, which can be an external reference like an object’s attribute, an InTouch analog tag value, or a custom property. Constants and expressions are not allowed. For more information, see Setting the Input Mode.

  3. By default, two empty rows will be created in the grid, and you can create a maximum of 8 pens.

  4. Use the Add icon icon to add more trend pens. Use the Delete icon icon to remove any trend pens. Use the Arrow Up icon and Arrow Down icon arrows to change the order in which the pens are displayed. Use the Duplicate icon icon to duplicate an existing pen configuration.
