If I view display data files from a PC using the DAQSTANDARD viewer trend screen, the trend display is filled in like a bar graph.
(ns-faq-dx-3050-soft)
Display data records the max and min values during the recording period. The trend screen shows a line connecting the max and min values at each point in time, making the trend display appear filled in like a bar graph.
In DAQSTANDARD viewer's statistical computation over an area, what do the max and min refer to?
(ns-faq-dx-3051-soft)
This assumes that the data type is display data. Display data records the max and min values during the recording interval, so those are the values it refers to.
