Figure 6-2Data Log Trend Interval: Seconds, Minutes, Hours, and Days
Use the UP/Down arrow keys next to Interval to change from Seconds, Minutes, Hour, and Day.
The Interval will allow variable sample rates for display of Data Log trends in VIEW and ViewDAQ. This modifies the 'effective sample rate for the run-time display only. The Data is still collected based on the Deadband and other properties configured for the Tag and SCADA node.
DataLog Trend Display supports the following time spans for viewing data: 6 min, 12 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hour, 4 hour, 6 hour, 12 hour, 18 hour, 24 hour, 2 day, 4 day, 1 week, 1/2 month, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years.
This feature allows the viewing of data at a sample frequency different than the recording frequency. The intent is to allow users to adjust the time span across the screen.
The field for Data Log Trend configuration is Time Span; the default value is 6 minutes.

Users can change the Display High and Display Low to "zoom in" or "zoom out" of trend data. By default, WebAccess uses the High Span and Low Span of the Tag. DataLog Trend Displays have configurable Display High and Display Low values for the y-axis (and x-axis in X-Y Plots). Trend displays will “remember” changes made to Display High and Low from VIEW and ViewDAQ. The Display High and Low are assigned to the Trend Group, allowing the same tag to have different sets of Display High and Low when assigned to multiple display groups.

Figure 6-1bData Log Trend Display Customized (real-time & historical trend)
Users can create use multiple trend templates (e.g. different colors and layouts) in the same project. For example some trend groups can have black backgrounds to facilitate viewing while others have white to facilitate printing on paper. Users can create and assign up to 100 extra customized trend graph templates for Realtime/Datalog Trend groups. These custom trends displays are then assigned in the Trend Group.The customized trend graph templates must have “b??” as the file extension:
For Datalog Trend, the file must be in the form of dlogtrd.b00, dlogtrd.b01, ..., or dlogtrd.b99.
For Datalog Xyplot, the file must be in the form of dlogxyp.b00, dlogxyp.b01, ..., or dlogxyp.b99.
