Hi, I have a timeseries where the a set of data should be displayed in 1hr time range (timeseries chart should display 1hr range even if there is no data).  
The problem is that the time range of the timeseries chart only depends on the available data's time range. So what happens is when the available data range is only 1min. the time range of the chart is also 1min. Is there a way to set a fixed time range for the Timeseries chart even if there is no data or the data range is less than 1hr ?.

No Data within the last 1hr

Data span 2min, time range span also 2min

Hi Chris,

The Time Series Chart does not have the capability to create a fixed range. However, the Power Chart ([Perspective - Power Chart - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+-+Power+Chart)) does allow for this range to be set.
