Automation Professionals is pleased to announce the release of [NoteChart](http://marketplace.inductiveautomation.com/moduledetail?moduleId=86), its first public marketplace module.

I’ve just created a demo project for the annotated chart module that demonstrates an editable event log. It includes enough dummy data to see the prioritization feature in action. In a typical application, join your sequence of events history with a priority definition table. Possibly also join with an event description table (for the tooltips). If you need operator entry of events, this demo shows how to tie the X-Trace of the chart to a data entry form. Remember to load the module before loading the project. 🙂 You may also have to reset its authentication profile before you can log in.

Updated versions of the [NoteChart Module](http://marketplace.inductiveautomation.com/moduledetail?moduleId=86) are available in the marketplace. This release adds interpolation to the X-Trace display and fixes a related failure when sample values are null. Also now supporting Ignition v7.8. Set the version selection drop-down for the platform you are using. The sample project has been updated to include a null-valued gap to test the interpolation.[NoteChartDemo\_2015-09-28.proj](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/7/72a1fd6ccf8f2a99d82ed9c2434419bf6b384b83.proj) (80.3 KB) ---

Updated versions of the [NoteChart Module](http://marketplace.inductiveautomation.com/moduledetail?moduleId=86) have just been uploaded to the marketplace. This release adds a pen values Dataset property to each component, providing the value samples from each pen corresponding to the X-Trace timestamp. Next up: create a dual-trace mode with time and value deltas in place of absolute samples. ---

Hi Phil, still looking for a way to put the Easy Note Chart into X-Trace mode when the window that has it is opened (or better yet what it was last time the window was closed in the same client session). Without any window event handler scripts it goes into pan mode. If I run the following script on window event handler internalFrameActivated: > system.gui.getParentWindow(event).getComponentForPath('Root Container.Easy Note Chart').setMode(4) The chart goes into X-Trace mode the first time its opened but if you go to another window then back to this one it goes to zoom mode. The regular Easy Chart seems to leave it in the same mode it was in the last time the window was closed in the same client session very nicely. I don't want to put my chart window into production until this is resolved as it feels 'clunky'. ---

I’ve been poking around in the guts of this. Could you turn the EasyNoteChart logger to DEBUG and look for a spurious `setMode(0) Internal Result mode=0` when re-opening the window. ---

Also, what window cache mode do you have set? ---

I’ve re-arranged the code that filters out the original X-Trace mode in this beta: ~~[https://www.automation-pros.com/ignition/NoteChart-1.9.3.1905311949.modl](https://www.automation-pros.com/ignition/NoteChart-1.9.3.1905311949.modl)~~ Please give it a try. ---

Note that retaining the previous mode is a side effect of caching the window. With cache policy “Auto”, caching is likely. If you want to be sure of this behavior going forward, use cache policy “Always”. ---
