Setting up Diagnostic
Trending

The diagnostic trending is a valuable tool for troubleshooting faults in the drive.
It is a method of capturing the variation in the values of different variables over a
period of time prior to and after a fault or warning condition. In the PowerFlex
7000 drive with ForGe control, the maximum number of parameters that can be
assigned for trending is 16. The length of the trend buffer is 100 samples.
