A Trend Server process controls the accumulation and logging of trend information. This information provides a current and historical view of the plant, and can be processed for display on a graphics page or printed in a report. Note the default server port numbers under Server Processes.
To add a trend server process:
-
In the Topology activity, select Edit.
-
On the menu below the Command Bar, select Trend Server.
-
Add a new row to the grid.
-
Type the required information in each column, or in the Property Grid (see below for a description of the properties).
-
Click Save.
