You can set the X and Y axes to show different values appropriate for your application. The bottom of
the Graph tab contains a legend of the active axis and scale settings for the graph.
Data tab
The Data tab allows you to select the reading buffer that provides the data that is displayed on the
Graph tab. You can select up to four buffers. The data from each buffer is shown as a separate trace
on the Graph tab. You can also select the type of drawing style that is used on the graph.
Setting Description
Add Trace
Selects the reading buffers that supply the data for the traces on
the Graph tab. You can select up to 20 reading buffers and specify
the buffer element for the y-axis for each. Colors are automatically
assigned to the traces and cannot be changed.
Clear Buffer
Clears data from the selected buffer.
Draw Style
The drawing style determines how data is represented when there
are many data points. You can select Line, Marker, or Both.
When Line is selected, the data points are connected with solid
lines. When Marker is selected, the individual data points are
shown with no connecting lines. When both are selected, the
individual data points are shown and the points are connected with
solid lines.
Graph Type
Sets the data to be plotted on the x-axis. You can select Scatter/IV
or Time.
Remove Trace
Removes the trace that is selected in the Traces list. This removes
the trace from the display.
Y-Axis
Displays the names of the reading buffers that contain the data for
the traces that are displayed on the Graph tab. If no buffer is
selected, the active buffer is used.
You can select up to 20 buffers. The data from each buffer is
displayed as a separate trace on the graph.
Watch Channels allows you to display a group of traces previously
chosen from the home screen. You can also edit the watch list with
the Edit Watch Channels option from the Menu icon on the Graph
tab.
Scale tab
The Scale tab contains settings that allow you to fine-tune the output on the Graph tab.
