Displaying Date events within a window

I have a handful of UDT instances that contain a tag that is of type date. The values of these dates can be anywhere from now to into the future. The tags are not currently being historized in any way. I am looking for a way to graphically show a chart or trend that spans the current shift and will plot these times to show their occurence during the shift. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I thought about using an easy chart but the tags are not historized and are not DB pens. I also though about using something like the Day Viewer, just don’t want to spend a bunch of time reinventing something that somebody has already worked through. Thanks in advance…
