Live History Chart view

This view displays historical data (trend data) as the default view for the HistoryPointList component and a secondary view on history extensions. It combines the historical plot of the History Chart with a continuing live plot that updates according to a sample rate that can be configured. It begins with a start time to the current time and continuously updates as the source generates new data.

The Live History Chart view contains the standard chart controls and options to help you customize and view the data, as well as the following additional features:

  • The Item List Pane displays all the points that are linked to the Chart view. To display or remove an item from the plot, click to select or de-select it.
  • The Resize Control resizes the pane. Drag the left border to widen or narrow the pane in the view.
  • The Toggle Item List Button displays or collapses the item list pane.

As the chart plots new data the view continuously updates. When data fill the chart area, the screen scrolls horizontally to keep showing the latest data.
