The device is polled for the graphed information every 2 seconds, and numeric values are updated based on this poll.

The graph updates at the Þxed two-second interval. For the Þrst 60 seconds of graphing, you will note the graph lines extending as each intervalÕs data is added to the graph. Once the Þrst 60 seconds has passed, the newest data is added at the right edge of the graph, and the oldest data is scrolled off to the left.
