The chart has a number of configurable properties that can be used to modify look, feel, and functionality. Change the properties as required:

Ords:
Each ord reference should be unique;

Main Chart Binding - set this to an absolute ord, e.g. station:|slot:/Drivers/NiagaraNetwork/AHU5 or relativized ORD e.g. slot:AHU5

Comparison Ords 1-7 - set this to an absolute ord, e.g. station:|slot:/Drivers/NiagaraNetwork/AHU5. Only absolute ords accepted here. A relativized ORD will not resolve for these fields.

Label Override
a comma delimited label array. e.g. Comp1, Comp2, Comp3, Comp4, Comp 5, Comp6. Number of elements should equal number of ords set.

Pairing Data sets
Optional: set the pairData property to true. Then add up to 14 ords. Must be even number ords. Then set the labelsOverride e.g. Temp,Sp,A1,A2,A3,A4,A5
