Trend Groups

A Trend Group is a charted tag, or collection of charted tags, and any associated configuration settings for use with the Trending module. The configuration settings may include scaling, date and time range, chart colours, and other properties. Graphs within a trend group are displayed on the same tab in the trending tool.

Trend groups can be saved and stored as .ser files.

Note

A trend group does NOT include the tag data. The data is read from the database whenever the trend group is opened in the Trending module.

You can save the charted data as a spreadsheet file, but not as a trend group. See Exporting Tag Data from a Trend Group for more details.
