Scale
Scale adjusts the upper and lower values displayed on the vertical axis of a data graph. Two scale
modes are available; auto scale and manual scale. Auto scale, which is the default setting,
automatically adjusts the graph scale based upon the minimum and maximum values transmitted
by the ECM. Manual scale allows you to set the minimum and maximum values.
