You can define a time window (“Last xx minutes”) and a time range (“Stop after yy 
hours”). 
 
ARENA will automatically displaying the controller values. After the elapse of the 
time window, the oldest values will begin disappearing and new values will be added 
on. 
 
This will be continued until the time range has elapsed. Thus, you are shown the 
actual values for the last xx minutes until yy hours have elapsed. 
 
Example:  Last = 15 minutes, Stop after: 6 hours 
 
 
 
Trend data of the latest 15 minutes is continuously saved and 
displayed within 1 day after starting the trend. 
 
The values can be saved to the ARENA database for performing a historical trend 
later.  
 
NOTE:  Live trend is only possible on site level and on levels below and ARENA 
must be connected. 
 
 
Trend Templates
 
Each trend is based on a template which saves the trended datapoints (not the 
values) and display settings (display type, time interval). Thus templates allow the 
easy reuse of trend settings once defined. ARENA provides two default templates, 
the Live trend template for Live trends and the Historic trend template for historical 
trends. Before firstly using a default template it contains only the display settings but 
no datapoints. New templates can be created.  
 
 
Trend Data Export
 
Trend data can be exported as .CSV file to MS Excel.  
 
 
  Trending and System Performance
 
Trending increases bus traffic and requires system resources. Hence, for historical 
trends, it is recommended to avoid adding more datapoints to trend than absolutely 
necessary. For Live trends, it is recommended to avoid storing datapoints in the 
database unless absolutely necessary. 
 
 
 
Procedures 
 
 
For both trend types, the basic procedure can be described as: 
 
1.  Record Trend Data 
Here you select datapoints to be trended. For historical trends, the values of the 
selected datapoints are continuously saved in the ARENA database. For Live 
trends, the values of the selected datapoints are not saved in the database by 
default, but they can be saved during the live trend when Analyzing the Trend 
Data in step 2.  
2.  Analyze Trend Data 
Here you do the following: 
•  Select datapoints for display 
• Configure 
display 
•  Define time interval and 
• Start 
trending 
 
 
Record Trend Data 
 
Historical Trend 
Here you select the datapoints to be trended. The values of the selected datapoints 
are continuously saved in the ARENA database. This collection of trend data occurs 
in the background. 
 
NOTE:  Historical trend is possible on all levels (station, site, controller, etc.) and in 
connected and disconnected states of ARENA.
