7-3-2 Adding a New Time Reference and Data Wrap
If the desired time reference is not included in the drop-down list, you can add a new time reference and then
select it from the drop-down list.
By default, views in profile mode and daily history views start with hour 01 on the left and end with hour 24 on
the right. At the same time you define a time reference, you can change the rightmost hour shown on the display,
which forces the remaining data to be wrapped to the left.
1. Click on the Add button in the Trend tab page.
2. The Trend Time Reference dialog box is displayed.

Select the History or Profile radio button in the Mode area.
3. Select a report interval using the Interval spin box. You can select the interval as Day, Month, or Year;
however, day is not an available for the Profile mode.
4. The next step is to select a report period using the Period spin box.
In the Period box, you indicate the ending day for the month interval, and the ending month for the year
interval. For example, if the report interval is a month, and you want the report to include all the days of the
month, you need to select an ending day of 30 or 31 in the Period box.
5. To change the right most hour in the view, select the new hour using the Wrap after Hour box.
6. To exclude data for certain days or time periods from the view, select the days and time from the Exclude
list box. You can select more than one day from the list.
7. Click on the OK button to complete the procedure.
