| - | By changing your context, you can choose between these sources of information. This means you can easily create a chart that details the state of your system against an ‘ideal’ state, or a ‘dangerous’ state that you’ve recorded earlier, or find out close your model was to the real-world. | + | By changing your context, you can choose between these sources of information. If you want to compare the predicted output of your system vs actual, or compare what two different simulation systems were saying, you can choose those contexts. |

| + | **Example** | ||
| - | You can change the context separately for both the upper and lower parts of your comparison. | + | In this example, we want to compare the live information we have against a //baseline// -a recorded set of measurements from the first commissioning of the plant. |
| + | * Click on 'Compare' | ||
| + | * Click on the context name (usually 'Actual Values') at the bottom of the Time Travel control. | ||
| + | * Pick the 'Baseline' context. | ||
| + | * Pick a time (any time will do in this case) | ||
| + | You will then be comparing the live values on site with the baseline expectations. | ||
