Create Pages for Trend Graphs

You can use any of the predefined trend templates for your trend pages, or use a predefined template to produce your own trend templates. You can draw a trend background (such as grid lines) on your trends.

1. Open Graphics Builder.
2. Click the New Page button on the Command Bar, or choose File | New.
3. On the New dialog box, select Type: Page.
4. Choose the Resolution (size) of the trend page.
5. Choose a trend Template for the trend page:
• Singletrend - One trend on the page
• Doubletrend - Two trends on the page
• Eventtrend - One event trend on the page
• Zoomtrend - Two trends on the page (one window for zooming)
• Poptrend - A single trend on the page (for display in a pop-up window)
6. Click OK.

To create multiple trend pages, you can:

• Create a trend page for each set of trends to display in the runtime system.
• Create a single trend page and use the PageTrend() function to display trends as necessary. With this function, you can display the trends in the system with a single trend page
• Create the trend page with the Graphics Builder, and set the pen names to blank. You then display that page by calling this function and passing the necessary trend tags (up to 8). Call the PageTrend() function from a menu of trend pages.
