Correct the Output Hour Time Series Graph

The Output Per Hour Time Series uses "Output" as the metric and shows cumulative output, whereas the Output per Hour Bar Graph uses "Output per Hour" and shows instantaneous hourly output. I believe the time series is using the wrong metric and should be corrected to use Output per Hour to show hourly output variation as opposed to Output vs. Time.

If you click on the Output statistic in the Process Flow Output Per Hour, you'll see that with the "Discard old data" box is checked by default, and that in the "Keep newest" field it is set to 1 hour. If you run your model for an hour in model time you should notice the graph gets then starts displaying the results of output with context of the last hour.
