To create a multi-curve trend, follow the steps below. Users can configure multiple sensors here. By default, when multiple -curve trend is selected a ruleset with 1 curve card will be displayed in the curve settings section
Here multiple rulesets can be added, and, in each ruleset, multiple curves can be added.
When multiple curve cards are added to the ruleset, the AND operation is performed to compare the curve cards' values. Across the rulesets, the OR operation is used. If a value is reached after being validated inside rulesetsĀ and across rulesets, an alarm is raised.
