The magnifying glasses to the left and right of the bar can be used to move the
display limit.

If the measuring signal becomes larger, the colored point moves to the right.
If the measured signal becomes smaller, the colored point moves to the left, as far as
the maximum zoom limit.
Note: The zoom areas to the left of the colored point are blocked and are symbolized
by crossed out points.

Comparison with reference leak:
1. Spray pin test leak (capillary leak) with helium.
2. Observe the helium signal until a maximum is perceptible.
3. Tap the bar between the magnifying glasses to reset the display limit based on the
