discrete graph - step chart

Hello, 

 

i would like to compare multiple signals and i can not find the way how to display data corectly. 

I use line chart, activate step chart. But if i have value 1 at time X1 and next value is 0 in time X2, the line is displayed in the middle of range/dots. It means the graph is not relevant and don't display reality. The main reason is to compare e.g. target/setpoint with real values or compare multiple signals in same time.

I would like to see following result : (green line in second graph)

Any recommendation/advice?

Hi,  @czmullertoCZ 

 

It's very hard to achieve it through the line chart,  and I've found one way that might help is to use the Power KPI visual of the App Source.

 

In Format -> Line options choose Step-After

Result:

Is this the result you want? Hope this is useful to you
