Drag the timeline tool backwards and forwards to see device status up to 72

When finished reviewing the timeline, select Start to
resume the live view.
Note: Any settings you configured for the view apply to the time slice. For example, if you set a collection frequency of five seconds, the time slice shows you values every five seconds. For custom topics, no information gets captured before starting the view. If you want to view the past hour of a custom topic, you need to wait until the view runs for at least one hour. After that, all data collected is available in the frequency you selected up to a maximum of 72 hours. This also applies to saved sessions.
