Simple Trend

This application, also called Interactive Trend, allows you to trend multiple variables on a selected production unit. When you configure the report, you can:

  • Specify the start and end time

  • Select the variables by unit

  • Select events by variables

  • Filter on events (event ID is on the x-axis)

NOTE:  Control limits can be automatically calculated as an option based on a configurable sample size. When available, calculated sigma values are reflected by control limits in trend charts.

You can left-click anywhere in the report to decrease the time period (zoom in). You can right-click in the report to increase the time period (zoom out).

Click the Properties icon and then click the Advanced tab to adjust the "zoom" factor. On the Data tab, you can determine whether the data points for the selected variables are plotted relative to either the primary axis or the secondary axis. Variables plotted relative to the secondary axis are identified with squares on the plot line. You can also add additional variables or overlay event information, such as Downtime and Waste events.

NOTE:  When you select Plot By Number Of Points on the Time tab, the Units, Event Type and Events tabs disappear. This is because these options conflict with the Plot By Number Of Points option.
