So my operators are asking that the trending be able to show the next couple of hours beyond the current time for predicting when certain cycles will be done. Is there a way to adjust the time scale/axis of the HDV to show future time, without data of course?

I guess I should ellaborate, see the photo here, it shows 12hrs - 6hrs of recent trend, and 6hrs of no trend but time scale into the future. Is there a way to set the HDV to show this future 6hrs?

I don't believe this is supported in VTScada directly but it is simple to do this using the Excel plugin in VTScada 12. Currently, you could do the same thing using ODBC queries but the Excel plugin will make doing so really simple.
