Control Palette
The control palette allows you to: select and move the cursor on the chart (only if the chart has a
cursor), zoom in/out of the data displayed on the chart, and pan the chart display. The zoom functions
are particularly useful. There are six functions as shown in the image below and going from left to right
and top to bottom they are: (1) zoom in to an area, (2) zoom along the X-axis, (3) zoom along the Y-axis,
(4) rescale chart X- and Y-axis to fit all data, (5) dynamic zoom-out, and (6) dynamic zoom-in. The most
commonly used functions are 2,3, and 4.
7.1.5
Scroll Bar
The scroll bar below the chart allows you to scroll through the history of the chart. In the image below,
the chart display is set to show 20 data points. That could be records 0-19 or 101-120. If you want to see
previous records, use the scroll bar. Remember, if you want to see more records, just change the right-
side number to whatever it needs to be for the desired width. For example, if the left and right-side
numbers are 101-120, but you want to see 50 records going forward (and not 20), change the left side
number from 101 to 71. The chart will now show 71-120 records and maintain that window width as
new data comes in.
