Exporting Data; Exporting Statistics To A Csv File - HP StorageWorks P4000 User Manual

shows the current scaling factor. If needed, you can change the scaling factor. For example, if you
are looking at similar items, you might change the scaling factor to change the emphasis on one item.
• From the statistics table on the Performance Monitor window, select the scaling factor you want
from Scale drop-down list for the statistic you want to change.
The line moves up or down the graph based on the new scaling factor.
If the line is at the very top or bottom of the graph, the scaling factor is too large or too small to
fit on the graph. It is possible for more than one line to be "pegged" to the top or bottom of the
graph in this way, resulting in one or more lines being hidden behind another line. Set the Scale
back to Auto to display the line.
