Is it possible to synchronize trend windows?

[BryE]

I have a panel with two hypertrend windows in it. I would love to be able to click a button and have one trend window snap to the same time as the other (in other words, once I find an event in one window, the other window can provide more information if it's set to the same time). Right now the solution is to copy/paste the time from one inspection box to the other. I can't find a way to do it using the data members.

Create a pot object, say TrendWidth_Pot. Connect it to the TrendWidth data member in both hypertrend objects. Then the two hypertrends will always be syncronized by the pot.

That will give both trend displays the same width but not necessarily at the same point in time.

A solution may be to put both traces on ONE trend display and offset them vertically. A pipe object matching the panel background color could be used to separate the two traces giving the appearance of two separate trends. Each can now have separate scale displays etc. The trend width AND the point in time will be common.

If necessary you could insert the display of the hypertrend object multiple times and use pipe objects to hide the undesired parts of each instance.

Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions. What I actually have is a tall trend window on the left with multiple lines and another of the same size on the right. They're different logical groupings of data, but related to the same system. I don't generally need much width so it works out better with the side-by-side arrangement. Once I find something of interest in one window, it would be nice to move the other window to the same point & range. I wish I could tie the display time to a pot.

If I make multiple views of the same trend object, do they all move together?

Also, I can't find a good explanation of the Hypertrend data members, just release notes that briefly mention them.

Well, the method of putting all the lines in one tall Hypertrend and putting it on the panel twice with alternating halves shifted off-screen works to keep the two views aligned all the time. It's messy, but since data members like CursorPos can't be read I can't think of another method.
