The Trend Toolbar is active when the currently selected tab in the display area is a Trend.
If the complete toolbar does not fit on the screen, the remaining options can be found by clicking the ellipsis on the right side of the toolbar.

Export the trend's data to a .csv file for downloading. Note: Read more about the trend's data in the Trend Controls topic.
