Explorer Trend Tour

This article applies to the Trends in versions 4.18 and later of IFS OI Explorer. For more, see Release History below.

The screenshot below identifies the main sections of a trend.

1. Home Tab on Explorer Ribbon The Home tab on the Explorer Ribbon provides access to a range of actions, including opening Workspaces, creating New Trends, and adding data to trends using the Hierarchy and Tags Navigators.
2. Trend Toolbar

The Trend Toolbar appears whenever a trend is opened and provides tools for managing and sharing the trend. It includes options to refresh data, reset the trend, and configure settings such as Y-Scale Type, the number of allowable hairlines, and the type of Y-Axis used.

To ensure all data points are visible, click Auto Range to automatically reset the minimum and maximum values for the trace items.
3. Trace Window Data is plotted in the Trace Window, along with hairlines, comments and cases.
4. Trend Controls The selections you make in the Trend Controls affect the time range of the chart, as well as the data collection method and interval.
5. Range Selector

The highlighted section in the Range Selector matches the start and end of the trend time range. Use the Range Selector as a longer trend, to help identify highs and lows. You can select smaller periods within the displayed range, to pick a new time range. The Range Selector is not pre-selected by default.

The Range Selector is described in detail in Tutorial 3 in Creating a Trend.
6. Trace Table The Trace Table lists each item (attribute, tag or calculation) in the trend, along with its description, display minimum and maximum, and units. The table also displays values or statistics. Use the functionality here to format each trace line (colour, trace style, visibility), add or remove trace lines, add or edit calculation traces, open Point Details for a tag or attribute value, choose a Left or right Y-Axis, and manipulate display minimums and maximums.
