Issue:
How can we display the Date and Time at the cursor position on the Trend object?

In the window, enter the name of the tag and select "String" as the type.

2- Double click on the "Trend Control Object" to open the properties window.

Click on the "Axes" button.

Then the "Cursor" button in the new window.

Enter the tag name in the "Value Output" field.

3- On the graphic page, add a text object to display the date and time.

Go into the "Draw" menu, select the "Text" tool and add a text field.

Define the properties of text field, then click the "Text data link" button.

In the "Tag/Expression", enter the tag name.

Save the modifications.
