By default, the trend scrolls older data to the left as it receives new information. Zoom the trend to show more or less data at once, or pan the trend to view data from a specific point in time. When zoomed or panned, the trend stops scrolling but will continue to receive new information from the data server.
Pen colors are pre-defined and do not match the colors set in the
