Opening a chart in a new window
You can open a chart in a new window if you want to view and analyze only one chart at a time.
In addition, a preview of the chart appears in the slider window, where you can identify peak
points in the chart that you view. Use the sliders to filter overall duration in the chart window and
view data for a focused duration. You can drag the sliders on either side of the time scale to
increase or decrease the duration for which you want to view the peak data. The existing chart
window is then updated to display data points for the duration selected.
For a chart window that you want to view, click Open in a new window. The chart automatically
opens in a new window.
