FactoryTalk Historian Time Expressions

Examples

Relative Time Relative time expressions specify a number of days, hours,

minutes, or seconds with either a leading plus sign or a

leading minus sign.
The reference time, or starting time, for the relative time

expression is the current time if both start and end times are
relative.
