FactoryTalk Historian Time Expressions
FactoryTalk Historian allows three types of time expressions: relative time,
combined time, and absolute time. These time expression types are defined
in the following table.

Description
Examples
Relative Time Relative time expressions specify a number of days, hours,
minutes, or seconds with either a leading plus sign or a
leading minus sign.
The reference time, or starting time, for the relative time
expression is the current time if both start and end times are
relative.

When using FactoryTalk Historian times, follow these guidelines:
Use absolute or combined time expressions. Avoid using relative time
expressions. Multiple relative time expressions in a time range may
cause an incorrect start time or an error message, depending on the
context of the expression.
