Note that there are several graph options that affect the way that the graph is displayed and the format of the axis scales.

The group of horizontal buttons in the top right corner of the screen selects what time interval is displayed:

_bm22Scroll left. Move a whole display left.
_bm25Scroll quarter left. Move a quarter display left.
_bm26Expand horizontal axis. Magnify the middle half of the display to fill the whole width.
_bm27Shrink horizontal axis. Shrink the current display to half size, so that more is displayed before and after.
_bm28Scroll quarter right. Move a quarter display right.
_bm23Scroll right. Move a whole display right.

 

The upper group of vertical buttons controls the vertical range displayed. If there is more than one graph frame, the buttons control the frame with the thicker border. To switch to a different frame, point inside the new frame with the cursor and click the left mouse button.

_bm29Scroll up. Move a whole display up.
_bm26Expand vertical axis. Magnify the middle half of the display to fill the whole height.
_bm27Shrink vertical axis. Shrink the current display height to half size, so that more is displayed above and below.
_bm30Scroll down. Move a whole display down.

 

Note that if you use these controls to change the time or vertical range, auto-scaling for that axis is turned off automatically. Use the options to turn auto-scaling back on again (see button below).

The remaining vertical controls are:

_bm31Copy to clipboard. Copy the graph to the clipboard.
_bm32Print view. Print the graph.
_bm7New file. Write graph to file in .bmp, .jpg, or .wmf format.
_bm33Select channels. Select the measurements to display on the graph.
_bm34View options. Specify the options for the graph.
_bm4Help. Access the help info for the graph window (this page).

 

If you move the mouse cursor onto the graph part of the screen, the computer will display the measurement value and time at the current cursor position. If you click the left mouse button, the graph will zoom in, centred on the mouse cursor. If you click the right mouse button, the graph will zoom out, centred on the mouse cursor.
