Good Night, my name is Felipe, I have been studying Ignition for a few months and at the company I work for I was responsible for making some improvements in Ignition. I would like to know if it is possible to create a graph based on a timeline to track three Boolean variables of a machine: Running, Standby and Faulted. I made a sketch of how I wanted it to look, as shown in the image below, but I couldn’t do that in Ignition. I would like to know if it is possible to create this type of chart in Ignition or in sepasoft modules. because it is possible to better observe the performance of a machine throughout the day. if it is not possible, I would like to know if it is possible to create something similar. Follow the image below as an example

Take a look at the status chart.

Hi @JordanCClark,  
thanks for answering me.  
I look at the status chart on inductive user manual, but I was unable to associate the three historical tags with the status chart. Unfortunately it goes beyond my knowledge
