Set up how the trend works at runtime

Use the Display tab of the Trend Object Properties dialog box to specify how the trend works at runtime.

To set up how the trend works at runtime:

  1. In the Graphics Display editor, double-click the trend to open the Trend Object Properties dialog box.
  2. Click the Display tab.
  3. Specify these properties:
    • How the trend looks
    • Whether the trend scrolls at runtime
    • How much extra data to store in the buffer

      Tip:

      Changing the background color does not change the chart window area. The window color and style can be changed in the Property Panel.
