1
From a graph, select Graph Setup.
2
Select an option:
• To set a time-elapsed scale, select Duration. The default
setting is 10 minutes. Increasing the time-elapsed scale
allows you to view variations over a longer period of time.
Decreasing the time-elapsed scale allows you to view
more detail over a shorter period of time.
