Zoom Out |
Zooms out one incremental step of time; for example, if the graph is incrementing time by the hour, selecting this command changes the time increment to minutes. Selecting it a second time changes the time increment to seconds. |
To zoom in on a selected range on the graph:
Select the Freeze scrolling check box.
The graph stops scrolling. This step is important because the data will scroll out of the selected range if you don't freeze it, skewing your results.
Mark the data range you want to zoom in to, as shown in Figure 1-8.
Right-click within the selection to bring up a context menu.
Select Zoom... then Selection
The graph refreshes and now shows a detailed view of the selected data range.
To zoom in to a specific time increment:
Right-click within the graph to bring up a context menu.
Select Zoom...
Select the time increment at which you want to monitor data.
The graph refreshes to show the data within the selected time increment.
