Configure property binding to pan to the start time of a trend chart

Bind the property of a graphic element to the time span of the trend chart. The graphic element and trend chart must exist on the same screen. Tapping the graphic element on the HMI device pans to the start time of the trend chart.

Select the trend chart on the screen.

In the Properties
window, select the Properties
tab.

Expand the General
category.

In the TimeSpanStart
box, select the date and time format.

On the same screen as the trend chart, bind the property of a graphic element that can write values to the TimeSpanStart
property of the trend chart. Bind using the format Element.Property.

For example, bind the Text
property of a Text Input graphic element on the screen to the TimeSpanStart
property of the trend chart. Use the format TrendChartName.TimeSpanStart. On the HMI device, the Text Input displays the time and date of the trend chart. Clicking the Text Input graphic element on the HMI device opens the virtual keypad and displays the trend chart date and time. The format of the date and time depend on the format specified in the TimeSpanStart
box:

TimeSpanStart	Date format	Time format
M/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss AP	M/dd/yyyy	h:mm:ss ap
dd/M/yyyy hh:mm:ss	dd/M/yyyy	hh:mm:ss
yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss	yyyy-MM-dd	hh:mm:ss
d MMM yyyy hh:mm:ss	d MMM yyyy	hh:mm:ss
M/d/yyyy	M/dd/yyyy	h:mm:ss ap
d/M/yyyy	dd/M/yyyy	hh:mm:ss
yyyy-MM-dd	yyyy-MM-dd	hh:mm:ss
d MMM yyyy	d MMM yyyy	hh:mm:ss

Tips:

Data displaying in real time on the HMI device uses the sample rate of the trend chart.

Data displaying historical values on the HMI device uses the sample rate of the data log for the project.
