point you want to include in the trend chart.

trend chart. The points will show as small circles attached to
the end points of colored vertical bars. Each bar corresponds
with a data point contained in a list below the trend chart.
4. Click the Show Vertical Bar box to display a moveable vertical
bar that you can click on and drag across the trend chart to
capture values for a specified time period.
5. Click on the green arrow to create a trend for the selected
points within the specified time period.

Transferring Data
The Data Transfer subsystem works with the Data Storage and Data
Collection subsystems to transfer historical data to a FactoryTalk
Historian SE server. The Data Transfer subsystem can only transfer
data to one FactoryTalk Historian SE server.
Before you set up data transfer in the FactoryTalk Historian ME
module, you must connect the FactoryTalk Historian ME module to
the FactoryTalk Historian SE server through the System
Management Tools (SMT) and configure trusts within the
FactoryTalk Historian SE server. You must also assign FactoryTalk
Activation licenses to support the FTMS point source.
