Hello,

I am looking for the option of having real-time data and historical data (select a certain range) in the same chart in perspective, perhaps if i click a button, it change to real-time, click again, i can select a certain time range. I am currently use time series chart. I am still looking for a good way to achieve it, because I realize that for the data in time series chart, i can only select real-time or historical. Any suggestion? thanks
