CIMPLICITYAbout Trends
CIMPLICITY provides you with extensive capabilities to trend data that is in several different formats.
You can trend:
- Runtime values
- Data from a CIMPLICITY Database Logger
- Data from a .csv file
- Data from a reference file that was created during runtime and can be recalled and displayed. This reference trend can be displayed and compared with other comparable data.
- Arrays
- Historian Lines
CIMPLICITY provides even more capability by letting you display a combination of runtime values and logged data in the same trend chart.
You, or a user, can:
- Display trends with:
- Multiple Y-axes so a user can display different parameter types in the same chart
- Data from different time periods so a user can compare different production periods in the same chart.
- Different time duration so that a user can compare production periods of differing length in the same chart.
- Auto update enabled so that the most recently logged data is automatically retrieved from disk while the trend is displayed.
- Zoom and pan through logged data to locate data of particular interest.
- Compare static values with a slider that updates a legend with actual values.
- Display long time periods in compressed format where the plotted data is the average, minimum, maximum, first, or last element from a sample.
