You can also use the scroll bar in the FactoryTalk Historian ActiveView

toolbar

(page 27) to change the time range.

Trends with Future Time Ranges

Trends with time ranges that extend into the future update normally if the
end time uses an asterisk (*). Use an asterisk plus a time interval (for
example, *+4h) to display updating future time. The asterisk and plus sign
are necessary; this feature does not work if you input the time in a format
such as 10-Jan-00 or T+10H.

Change Time Zone

You can show times in the Client or Server time zone for each FactoryTalk
Historian ActiveView display. To see or change the time zone in use, right-
click the display and choose Time Zone, then choose either Client or
Server. The current selection is shown with a check mark.

If you choose Client time, all the times displayed are in your client
machine's time zone. If you select Server time, all times appear with
respect to the time zone of each Historian Server from which the tag data is
retrieved.

Any times that are input by the user (such as in changing the time range
(page 24)) are interpreted in the selected time zone.
