About the data graphs

The Performance Monitor data graphs are displayed on panels with the graph on the left and the
legend for the graph on the right. Performance Monitor can display up to four panels with up to
four graphs in each panel for a maximum of 16 graphs at the same time.
You can change the size of each graph panel by clicking the icon in the upper right of the
panel.
You can plot up to 8 sets of data on each graph.
You can display the value of each data point by placing the cursor on the data point on the
graph.
You can adjust the unit of scale on the vertical axis using the vertical scale selector on the
upper left of the graph. For example, you might need to increase the vertical scale to see
data with high values.
In some cases, you might need to adjust the vertical scale to display the data properly. For
example, if the scale is too small, a single data line might be so thick that the entire graph
is painted in a single color.
You can display or hide data points on the graph panel by clicking the legend on the right
of the graph. Each graph must display at least one set of data, so you cannot hide all of the
data.
When you are viewing data for the MP blades in real time (Time Range is set to Use Real
Time), the MP blade names are displayed as text links. Click the text link to display the
resources assigned to an MP blade of top 20 in usage rates on the detailed window.
