Division lines: corresponding to the horizontal axis (see above)
Scale: Define whether the scale should be displayed at the left or right border of the

scale as well as the Main and Sub scale divisions (longer and shorter markings will be
displayed in the here defined distances).
Legend: Font and divisions; see above, horizontal axis
Variables: see above, horizontal axis
Symbol bar: see above, horizontal axis, additionally there is a "home" button for
restoring the standard settings concerning zooming and offset of the axes.
Recording: Define here whether the trend should be recorded 'only online', i.e. the
time dependent behaviour of the variable values will be displayed using the chosen
range of the scale, or whether the record should be saved to history file, which can be
configured after pressing the button History. The dialog corresponds to that which is
used for the configuration of the alarm log file.
Note!
If the target specific option 'Store trend data in the PLC' is activated, the path
defined here will be ignored and the log file will be stored in the download directory
of the PLC.
In the log file for each time of measurement a separate line is written which contains
the name and the values of all regarded variables. Each line starts with a unique
identifier in DWORD format, which is built from the date of measuring.
Choose variable: Press this button to get the dialog Variables, where you can
configure the variables for which the trend record should be done and how they
