To use a different window color

In the Property Panel, select the opaque WindowStyle, and then specify the
WindowColor property.

For information about using the Property Panel, see page 20-30.

Test the trend

You can quickly test the trend by switching to test mode. If communications are active and
there is data for the tags, the pens plot values in the trend. When you are finished testing,
switch back to edit mode to continue editing.

To switch between test and edit modes

On the View menu, click Test Display or Edit Display, or click the Test Display and
Edit Display tools.

Use the Trends graphic library

The Trends graphic library contains a trend graphic object and buttons for controlling the
trend. It also contains numeric display objects that show the value of each tag used in the
trend.

You can use the trend and objects as they are, or you can edit them to suit your needs. To
use the objects, drag and drop (or copy and paste) them into your graphic display.

For information about copying and pasting objects from the graphic libraries, see
page 20-44.

Test mode is not the same as running the display. Test mode does not change the
appearance or position of the display as set up in the Display Settings dialog box. Also, data
logging is not turned on in test mode.
