Quick Summary

Quick Summary displays the number of surge, sag, impulse, and frequency

events that occurred in each time period. In the Quick Summary above, the

time periods are sorted by date.

Note that the thickness of a bar and its position in a time period is irrelevant;

the bar only displays the number of events and the time period they occurred

in.

If more detailed analysis is needed, it may be better to

spreadsheet or database for further manipulation.

To Edit the graph, right-click anywhere in the graph to open the
