Hello,

I am trying to use the PowerChart component to display a trend.  
The problem is that the trend line “jumps” when viewing in realtime:

How can I prevent this?

Thanks!

In a simpler form (timeseries chart):

I believe there should be a solution for this but I can’t find it…

Did you find a solution for this? I'm having the same issue when using real time. If I change to historical, the trend stabilizes.
