The Axis Options dialog allows you to select which column is plotted and how it is scaled.
Choose which column is plotted on the x-axis.
The scaling options control how the limits of the graph are set. The following scaling options are available:
Autoscale Larger (Default): Similar to Autoscale except the graph limits will never be made smaller.
Autoscale: The software will choose an appropriate range for the axes, based on the data being plotted.
Autoscale From 0: Similar to Autoscale except that one of the endpoints of the axes will be at zero and the other will be set based on the data range.
Manual: In this mode, you can choose both endpoints of the axis. Enter the minimum and maximum values to plot in the text boxes under this option.
Right: Manually enter the maximum value you wish to show on your graph (disabled if autoscaling is chosen).
Left: Manually enter the minimum value you wish to show on your graph (disabled if autoscaling is chosen).
Strip Chart: Each new data point gets added on the rightmost edge of the chart during data collection, and older points scroll off the left edge. The width of the graph in data points is set in the Axis Options Tab. This mode mimics a paper strip chart recorder.
You can Rotate the X-Axis tick labels for easier viewing. This is useful when the labels are long and require extra space. The default tick labels along the X-Axis are horizontal (zero degrees).
Check Log Axis to plot the Log of the values of the column it traces. Each major tick of the y-axis axis is a power of 10.
When you check Make All Values Major Ticks, a vertical line and x-axis label will be assigned to each data point on the graph. This makes it easy to identify the x-coordinates of all your data.
