Monitoring a value with alternating sign

Bin · November 15, 2015, 04:42

Hi,

As describe in the title, I would like to set a report to monitor a displacement that is changing with time. Its value could be positive and negative. I have set a maximum report to monitor the value but it is only capable to monitor the values that are greater than 0. Currently, I have two reports (1 max and 1 min) just to monitor the displacement for a single point.

Therefore, I would like to ask whether monitoring both positive and negative values at the same time is possible? What type of report should I select?

Regards,
Bin

If you are really reporting a single point probe's displacement, the maximum and minimum reports should return the same identical value. A maximum or a minimum of a single value is just that value.
