Section 8. Working with Data Files on the PC

Lock Scrolling. Locks and unlocks the scroll bar at the

bottom of the graph.
When unlocked, moving the scroll bar on either the graph or

the data file will scroll both the graph and the data file.
When locked, the graph will not scroll. However, moving the

scroll bar on either the graph or the data file will still scroll the

data file.
This is a toggle button. When the lock is currently enabled,

there will be a lock on top of the icon.

Graph Options. Opens a dialog box from which you can set

properties for the graph including colors, margins, titles,

legend, etc. This dialog box can also be brought up by

pressing the

Options button.

Show Table. Brings the main View Pro window in front of

other windows, making the data file(s) visible.

Show/Hide Graph Cursor. A toggle button that shows and

hides the graph cursor. The graph cursor is a vertical line

extending from the top to the bottom of the graph display.

When visible, you can click and drag the cursor across the

graph. Data values at the current cursor position will be shown

in the table.

Show/Hide Gradient. A toggle button that turns on and off

the gradient background of the graph. It may be useful hide

the gradient, when printing the graph.

(Common)

Common/Independent Axes. When multiple data values are

being graphed, determines whether they have common y-axes

or independent y-axes.
When using common y-axes, one scale will apply to all traces

assigned to the left y-axis and one scale will apply to all traces

assigned to the right y-axis.

(Independent)

When using independent y-axes, the scale shown will apply

only to the last selected trace assigned to that axis. (A trace is

selected by clicking on its name in the list above the

Edit and

Delete buttons.)

Synchronize Axes. Only enabled when data is being graphed

from multiple data files and all of the data files have an

overlapping time period.
When a graph contains traces from multiple data files, a box

with a drop-down list will appear in the Graph Width options

box. The data file chosen from the drop-down list indicates

which data file and graph will be scrolled by the graph scroll

bar. After using the scroll bar to scroll the indicated graph, the

Synchronize Axes button may be pressed to synchronize the

timestamps of the remaining graph(s) and data file(s) so that

they are all displaying data from the same time period.
