Hello All,  
I am trying to link the date and time range of the Status Chart component with that of a chart component to ensure that I can get a reliable indication of trend values when a machine was in the on/off/hand state.

Any suggestions w.r.t. how I can link the date/time range of these two components to ensure that the date/time range is always the same?

Kind regards

You could use a Date Range component to set the start and stop dates, then bind the Data properties of the Status Chart and the Chart to SQL queries using these start and stop dates.
