The number of segments is relative 
to the full-scale value of the selected 
range. In normal operation 0 (zero) is 
on the left. The polarity indicator at 
the left of the graph indicates the 
polarity of the input. The graph does 
not operate with the capacitance, or 
frequency counter functions. For 
more information, see “Bargraph”. 
The bargraph also has a zoom 
function, as described under "Zoom 
Mode".
