When values for the pen have been plotted across the full width of the chart, the pen
appears as a solid line.
 In the Connections tab, assign to a pen the tag, expression, or constant whose value
will be used to determine the position of the line, and then in the Pens tab, choose the
pen type Full Width.
As soon as the trend is shown, the pen appears as a horizontal line across the full width
of the chart. Its vertical position is determined by the tag, expression, or constant’s
value. If the value changes, the position changes.
