Use this article to learn more about Trend Graphs and the different settings you can use to customize your graph.


DIMENSIONS

A Trend Graph Page can show up to two dimensions (use, temperature, pressure, and other) in one graph. The first dimension is displayed on the left vertical axes. In the case of two dimensions, the other dimension is displayed on the right vertical axes.



One dimension: temperature



Two dimensions: temperature (left axis) and pressure (right axis)



MOUSE OVER


We made it easy for you to read a trend line. If you hover over a point on the graph, a popup shows the details of that specific point. This will help you to get the details you are looking for.

Zoomed out: selecting zoom area in the state bar

NOTE: As a general setting, you select the reporting period in your menu (top ribbon, next to the scope and your initials). This is the default period for your trend graph.




GRAPH LAYOUT

 

When using different dimensions in one trend graph, you can adjust the layout to make it easier to read the graph. The SHARED layout is set to default but can be changed to STACKED or SEPERATED by clicking on the little arrow at the top right of the graph.



SHARED

All the points and machines are merged into one graph. 

 



STACKED 

Each graph is shown independently while the operational states of both machines are displayed by one state bar. 




SEPARATED

Each graph and state bar is shown independent of each other. 




GRAPH SETTINGS


SHOW RAW DATA

This is setting is available when the reporting period is bigger than 24h. When choosing this setting, the system will show all the raw data instead of showing an average. This is important when you are analyzing warnings and failures.

SHOW STEP INTERPOLATION

Instead of joining the different points, the line will remain constant until reaching the next point, resulting in what is called a step interpolation
