Export
Trends can be exported in .csv file format.
Import
Once a trend has been exported, the resulting .csv file can be imported.
Imported trends are shown with their own x and y axes. To allow an imported trend to be compared
with recordings that are currently in progress, the X axis of the imported trend can be linked to an existing
axis.
Link axis
Once a trend has been imported, the new X axis (axis B) for the imported trend can be linked to the
existing X axis (axis A). Axis B is then synchronized with axis A to run simultaneously, but it can be
adjusted without affecting axis A. This makes it possible to compare trends that were recorded and
displayed previously with the current trend.
