AddDynPointLine is a method for a Trend Invoke method action.

Purpose: AddDynPointLine |

Advanced Configuration: AddDynPointLine |
Purpose: AddDynPointLine
To easily add a point's available logged and ongoing current data to the runtime Trend Control without having to specify the data source. The line addition occurs when the method is triggered by an event or through a script.
Lines using automatically found logged and runtime data display a combination of runtime and logged data. Runtime data is reported by CIMPLICITY Point Management. Logged data comes from a CIMPLICITY Log table, which CIMPLICITY finds when the method is triggered.
The order in which CIMPLICITY looks for logged data is as follows:
A CIMPLICITY data table.
The first data table in alphabetical order.
A CIMPLICITY group table.
The first group table in alphabetical order.
If the point is not being logged to either a data or group table, the trend line displays as current data becomes available.
The behavior of the logged point line type depends on the Allow Runtime Scrolling property.
