How Do You Export Data to a Spreadsheet?
From the HTV, select File»Export…. The HTV exports the information
currently displayed in the trend to a tab-delimited file. A dialog box
prompts you for the name and location of the file to create.
The HTV resamples data in periodic intervals so that all tags have the same
number of data points. The frequency defaults to a value according to the
frequency of data in the historical files. If you want to override this value,
enter the frequency you want in the dialog box.

How Do You Set Tag, Time, and Color Preferences?
Set the preference for the HTV to remember settings for display time and
color on exit by selecting Viewer»Preferences…. When you exit the HTV,
the state of the viewer is recorded.
