EasyChart: How to graph a realtime float?

Ignition

Hi all,

So far I am not finding the EasyChart very easy to work with.
What I am trying to do:
Take a random float tag and display it in real time, like a normal chart or graph. I set the random range to 1E-4 to 1E-5 on the tag provider program.
I am using a Tag Pens dataset for this tag.
I've tried a couple different aggregation modes, but they all give me a message in the console: Invalid aggregation mode: on said pen. I've tried MinMax, Closest, Average.
I set the Tag History Resolution to -1.

All I seem to get is either a blank chart or a moving line that changes slope with every new value (per second).


The resolution used here is 300, but a -1 shows an empty chart.

I tried adding calculation pen, but it doesn't seem to do what I would like.

Any thoughts on getting a real time graph from a real time random tag?

thanks!

How do you have said tag defined in the historical properties of the tag itself?

As in History enabled? Yep, but I just realized the historical deadband was set too high. Ah, I see said the blind man. After adjusting the deadband down a few decimals, I now have a VERY crazy looking chart!

Thanks!
