Testing a trend
In FactoryTalk View Studio, in the Graphics editor, you can use Test Display mode to test
a trend while you are setting it up.
If you have set up communications and there is data for the tags, the pens will plot values.
When you are finished testing, switch back to Edit Display mode to continue setting up
trend properties.
To switch between Test and Edit Display modes
 In the Graphics editor, from the View menu, select Test Display or Edit Display.
You can also click the Test Display or Edit Display buttons on the toolbar.
