Hi,

When we zoom in the **Easy Chart** in _RealTime Mode_, it get paused automatically, is it possible to continue in real time mode with the zoom in? And it’s possible to pan up and down while is running in real time mode too?

Thanks.

This is kind of fundamentally wrong for the purposes of RealTime Mode. Since, Real Time infers that you’re interested in the instantaneous changes in the trended value.

A work around would be to use the chart in historical mode with a relatively short scan time class.
