Trend Plot

The Trend Plot screen offers graphic trending for both real time and past
history of up to 48 hours. Three parameters can be plotted: process
variable, output value, and setpoint. You can use any combination of
these values. You can also combine loops, and plot up to three different
loops at the same time.

The screen is a combination of past and real time trend plotting. The
past is on the left 5/6 of the screen and the real time is on the right 1/6.

If an EGA video card is installed in the computer, the screen will be
colored for easier identification. If a CGA video card is installed, the
plot will be displayed in black and white only.
