Configure the X axis

Configure the X axis to change its start date, amount of time shown, or historical data end date. Configuring the X axis pauses the trend.

To configure the X axis

1. In the FactoryTalk ViewPoint trend page, select Menu and then select X-Axis Range to show the Trend Configuration window.
2. Under X-Axis, in Start Date, enter the date on which the trend should start.

   The start date cannot be earlier than the end date specified under Historical Data Retrieval.

3. In Time Span, enter the number of seconds, minutes, hours or days the trend will show.

   The default value is the same as the value of time span of the FactoryTalk View client trend or trend pro object.

4. Under Historical Data Retrieval, in End Date, enter the last date for which historical data will be retrieved.
5. Click Apply or OK to save the changes.
