The G3 series HMI now offers a richer trend viewer. The Show Data property allows the viewer to automatically display the tags being monitored, right on the viewer. This saves time when creating screens for data logging applications, as the programmer doesn't even have to place the tags on the screen. The values can even be programmed to disappear until such time that Cursor Mode is invoked.

The Cursor Mode allows the operator to see the exact values of the tags historically. By touching the viewer, the cursor appears on the nearest data points, and the aforementioned data tags display the values at that point in time. The cursor also displays the exact time the data was stored, and may be moved left or right via the viewers buttons. This feature is invaluable when you need more accuracy than a simple line graph can give you, such as when process disturbances need evaluation. A simple push of the Live button, and the viewer returns to its normal functions.

This enhanced viewer is available in the latest version of Crimson 2 software.
