Configuring Analog and Digital Pens

Configuring the appearance of analog or digital pens involves selecting the line color, stack property, line width, and either the method of interpolation (analog pens) or fill color (digital pens).

1. Select the pen you want to configure.
2. Click the Appearance tab to display the appearance property controls. Properties vary depending on type of pen.



3. Select a Line color using the color swatch.
4. Specify a Line width.
5. To stack a pen, select the Stacked option and then specify a Height in pixels for the stack.
6. Do one of the following:
• For analog pens, choose an Interpolation method. Straight causes a line to be drawn directly between two data points. Stepped causes a line to be drawn between points maintaining the value of the previous sample until a sample with a different value arrives, in which case a vertical line is drawn.
• For analog pens, select if the pen will display on the left or right Vertical Axis. You can now compare trend tag data side by side using a dual axis.

Note: For overlaid pens, all pen vertical axis will be visible regardless of the selection. For this reason up to two pens can be overlaid with axis on left and on right. If all axes are on one side, only the selected one will be visible

• For digital pens, select the Filled check box, and then select a fill color from the color swatch.
7. Click Apply.
