Configure an event comparison

Use the Configure Trend toolbar to customize an event comparison display. You can edit the scale options and the appearance of the traces. If the trend shows multiple attributes, the scale and trace style can be set separately for each attribute.

1. Open an event-comparison page.

2. Click to open the Configure Trend toolbar.

3. If the trend shows multiple attributes, select the attribute to configure.

4. Customize the range of values on the axis by clicking one of the following:

   • Autorange of dynamic values

     Set the scale to the minimum and maximum plotted values of the trend's time range.

   • Database limits

     Set the scale to the data item's configured minimum and maximum values.

   • Custom limits

     Set the maximum and minimum values manually by entering the Top and Bottom values, and then click Apply.

   If the trend shows multiple attributes, the axis shows values for the first attribute, then the minimum and maximum value for each additional attribute in the order shown at the top of the trend. Click on attribute to highlight its scale.

5. To configure the presentation style for the traces for the selected attribute, click one of the following:

   • Line

     Default setting. Displays a trace line with no individual recorded data points.

   • Data Markers

     Displays individual recorded data points with connecting lines between them.

   • Scatter Plot

     Displays individual recorded data points without any connecting lines.

6. To select the line style for the selected attribute, click the down arrow and select the line style from the drop-down.

   

   Line styles are applied if either the Line or Data Markers style is selected.

7. To configure the trend for another attribute, select the attribute and then select the scale and trace settings for that attribute.

8. When you have finished configuring the trend, click to close the Configure Trend toolbar.

After you configure an event comparison display, you may want to save it for future use. For more information, see Save an event comparison display.
