Adjusting Time Ranges
Controlling the Display Range
The display range in Seeq Workbench refers to the time over which signals and conditions are trended. It is the top of the two time ranges users can adjust inside Seeq Workbench.
Pan and Zoom
With your mouse over the time axis labels (4:00 pm, 6 pm, 8 pm, etc in the screenshot to the right) your mouse will change to a horizontal double arrow . When this icon is displayed you can zoom in or out by scrolling your mouse wheel or you can pan the trend by clicking and dragging left or right.
Entering Time Values in Fields
The start, end, and duration fields can be edited directly by clicking on the label (10/22/2018 3:09 PM CDT / 1 day / 10/23/2018 3:09 PM CDT in the screenshot to the right). To change any of these fields just type in a new date and press enter. You can also enter partial dates and times as adjustments. For example, if you want to change the start date from 11/14/2017 10:03am to 9:00 am in the example to the right you only have to type, "9:00am," and press enter and the time selection box will keep the day constant. Similarly, you can type only, "11/15," and it will hold the time constant.

The duration of your investigation range will remain constant, but trends will stream across the screen from right to left. This mode will also enable live computation of calculated signals and conditions.
Controlling the Investigation Range
The investigation range in Seeq Workbench refers to the time over which conditions are displayed in the mini-map below the trend. It is the bottom of the two time ranges users can adjust inside Seeq Workbench.
Controlling the Display Range
The display range is shown inside the the investigation range as a highlighted region. You can adjust the display range by dragging the left or right edges of this highlighted area or by clicking, holding and panning left or right.
Viewing Capsules in the Investigation Range
Capsules are shown as colored bars in the investigation range. This allows you to see if there are capsules to the left or right of your current display range and so are not being displayed on the trend.
Swapping the Investigation and Display Ranges
The two arrow icons on the left side of the display and investigation ranges will copy the start and end dates from one range to the other. For example, if you would like to trend the entire investigation range you can click on the up arrow and your display range will now match the entire investigation range.
