Manage Traces

When building a trend from worksheet or FactoryTalk Historian data, you
accumulate traces in the trace panel to the right of the wizard screen.
Several controls are provided to manage the traces that appear in the trend:

Select the Markers check box next to a trace name to display markers
on the trace to indicate the location of archived data points.

Traces are drawn in different colors. By default a trend also includes

color-blind markers to differentiate traces on monochrome screens. Color-

blind markers are evenly spaced along a trace and do not indicate archived
data points.

Click the arrow buttons above the trace panel to move traces up and
down in the trace legend display.
