Time bar

The time bar allows you to select the time range for displaying the plots of the variables.
Description of time bar
The time bar is displayed under the plot area. It shows the start time of the time span at
the left end of the row and the end time at the right. The length of the time scale of plots
equals the difference between the start and end times.
The current time, which means the current time on the server, is located at the right end
of the time span but can also be located in the middle or at the left end so that the time
span stretches into the future.
The plot values displayed on the left of the current time are retrieved from the source
table for history data. They can be average or current values. The plot values shown on
the right of the current time are retrieved from the source table for future data, which is
usually a prediction table. This requires that a prediction table has been configured into
the system.
A red vertical line in the plot area signifies the current time (see Figure 5.4-1). The future
area to the right of the line is highlighted by dimming the background.
