Chart Type Description
Trend Displays a trend of one or more logged parameters from one or more meters over a specified time interval.
You can select up to five parameters on the same chart.
Calendar Displays a trend line of one logged parameter in a calendar format.
This chart is typically used to display real or reactive power demand over time to pinpoint peaks that vary by
day, week or month. You can zoom in on a day's chart by clicking on the day in the calendar view. Selecting
multiple days overlays one trend line on top of another, allowing you to compare, for instance, all Mondays in
a month.
TIP In addition to the standard charts, the optional ChartsPlus package extends custom charting capabilities. This client
application downloads and runs on the client computer.
