Bar graphs are only available when Load is the selected base unit; if you select Raw Counts or Rate, the Bar Graph column will be removed from the interface display.

2.Once you have selected the base unit, click on the down arrow in the left-most field to specify the statistic you’d like to display. Note that the options available from this menu will vary depending on the base unit you have selected.
