I am a new user to Ignition, using version 8.3. I have float tag that is being read from a Kepware server and logging to a Core Historian every 500ms. I have a Tag Group configured, with the tag added to the Tag Group (under both the Basic and History catagories in the tag properties). The live tag values are being updated correctly at the expected intervals. The issue I have is when I add the Tag to a Power Chart it appears to plot a straight line between the first and last data points for the selected time range (in Realtime mode); everything inbetween these two points is ignored. I added the tag to the chart via the Tag Browser. I have tried various fixes recommened such as changing the deadband style, aggregation mode, interpolation etc, but nothing seems to work. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/f/cf13d2f5bb6ad406133f4def327ce830afdf3d41.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/7/f7369f47c8e8024e49fec00c1039a6918d462cab.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/d/0d69a9252508dcf735ff06518029fa392a3b923d.png) ---

> [@Power Chart Interpolation](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/power-chart-interpolation/111041/6): > > This topic came up a lot during training sessions. The main reason I've found that causes this is actually in the tag historical configuration, specifically the deadband style property. There are three options, auto (default), Analog and Discrete. Auto will choose either Analog or Discrete based on the tag type. Basically anything with a floating point is set to analog. An analog deadband style always assumes a linear path. Think of temperature, it's impossible to jump from one temp to anothe… ---

Thats what I read on other forums threads too. But within the 1-minute period shown on the graph above there should be a minimum of 60 data points (ideally 120), but the chart is just drawing a straight line between the first and last points that are in view. ---

Also remember that kepware is an OPC server, and there is a limited update rate on OPC of 1000ms on Ignition. As far as the data, when you pull the raw data from the historian for that tag, how many data points do you get? ---

> [@David\_Stone](#): > > limited update rate on OPC of 1000ms on Ignition Not correct. The **default** is 1000ms, and that is a limit for remote tag providers. Ignition's historian will happily record at 100ms or faster if everything is configured correctly to do so. ---

If I tabulate the tag history data the values appear to correlate with what is graphed....but those do not correlate with the actual live data from Kepware. So this is a tag history configuration issue? ---

It sounds like there is some issues with your history settings. ---

tag history settings are posted above. For fun I I changed the data table to display AsStored and it returned....nothing. ---

Is the time on the kepware server and the ignition server identical? ---

Yes, local time on both are correct.
