5.5.1   Data Log Trend Groups

At least one DATALOG Trend Group must be configured to view Data Log values for all your Tags. Operators and users can add tags to this group or replace them "on-the-fly" in VIEW without loosing data.

The groups provide a fast an efficient way to specific a large number of pre-built Display Trends with names that are meaningful to operators and ordinary users.

To open the Data Log Trend Pop-up Dialog Box with a list of all these Data Log Trend Groups.

Select the Standard Toolbar button   

Or Press the F4 key on the keyboard

Or Right Click -> Goto -> Data Log Trend (in a web browser VIEW)

Or on the ViewDAQ menubar, select Goto -> Data Log Trend
