If I understand correctly, then you want to be able to set the start and end time that the trend should use to display.

In the trend properties ... X-Axis ... Settings, you can set Mode=Tag/Constant.
At Axis Scaling, you can then assign tags to Axis Begin and Axis End.
If I understand it correctly, then the value for start and end will be the number of logged points with "0" being "now" and a higher value will be a multiplication of the log time (i.e. logging every 10 sec, and "Axis end" = 50, then axis end is 500 seconds back).
If you want the user to be able to select a specific start and end time, then you may have to do some calculation in the PLC.

Thats is exactly what I want to do!
To be able to select a specific start and end time to see what happened in this time period.
