Historain trend client - Trend properties Y axis grid lines..

Hello All,

We have AVEVA Historian commissioned and working smoothly. Customer is using trend client to view the process values graphs.

The user has a requirement for trend y axis, to view grid lines, they want to specify the steps interms of values between min value and max value.

e.g. trend min value is 20.0 and max value is 25.0 and they specify the value as 0.5 then in trend grid line should be displayed at 20.5,21.0,21.5,22.0,22.5,23.0,23.5,24.0,24.5,25.0 

Is it posible?

Warm regards

  • Hi Hemant,

    I don't think there will be a way to do this natively, but here is how I would do it: 

    Open the Trend program -> Chart tab -> Scall All Tags -> Set Scale, and set the min and max:

    You would then need to set the scale yourself via the Y-axis properties screen. In the example your provided, you have the min at 20 and max at 25, with a need to increment by 0.5. So, the math would be (25-20) / 0.5 = 10 increments. 


    Again, I believe this is the best approach, as, to my knowledge, the grid lines cannot be directly set to increments of 0.5 through a specific input.


    If you are instead trying to modify the trend during runtime using the aaHistClientTrend Control, you can then achieve a similar effect through scripting by modifying the TopY and BottomY properties:

    You would then set the scale by doing similar math, and then modifying the NumYAxisValues property:


    Hope this helps!

  • Great explanation from Adam! One final detail is the chart scaling needs to be set to "Single" for the graduated labels to be shown (in the default "Multiple" mode, only the min/max labels are shown).
