In a chart, can I change the table that a pen is pointing to, based on some condition? Ideally, I’d like to use the value of a SQLTag or a property (a la indirect tags) in the table name. That way, I can display the correct data for device 1 or for device 2, using the same chart screen.
There are several ways to skin that one. An Easy Chart stores its pen configuration in an Expert Property dataSet. You can bind that to an SQL database query, allowing you to control pen configuration via the database.
The original Chart component’s data is a dataSet, which can easily be bound to a dynamically generated SQL query.

Related, I have the same issue with a plain old Chart component, which I am using to display an X-Y scatterplot. Can I display data from different tables in this case?
