[Trend]GapFillMode

Determines the method used to fill gaps in a trend file and graph caused by missing trend samples. You can choose either the Step or Ratio method.

If you choose Step, CitectSCADA will fill the gap with a sample of the same value as the last real sample.

If you choose Ratio, CitectSCADA will fill the gap with a sample which is calculated using the ratio of sample times and values immediately before and after the gap. The gap in the trend graph will then be filled with a straight line.

Note: For gaps to be filled, you must also set the parameter [Trend]GapFillTime or [Trend]GapFillSamples.

If you want to fill gaps left by missing trend samples on the trend graph only (and not in the trend's file), you must use TrnSetDisplayMode() instead of this parameter.
