Graph Menu
Graph Tools Cursor
Floating Cursor, when checked, will display a crosshair type cursor that you can move with the mouse. You can use the Floating Cursor to pinpoint a particular temperature and time. The status bar displays the data point number, the time, and the temperature, where the crosshairs meet.
Tracking Cursor, when checked, will perform similarly to the Floating Cursor, except that it will lock on to the plot line. With this option enabled, you can move the mouse left and right without regard to up and down, and the horizontal cursor will remain pointing to the plot line.
Data (Box) Zoom, when checked, allows you to use the mouse to click and drag a rectangle around a line of data to magnify that portion of the chart. The chart size will remain the same, but the axes will be expanded as well and the data line(s) to allow viewing more detail. Click and drag the left mouse button to the right and downwards. A bluish translucent rectangle will appear showing the area that will be displayed when the mouse button is released. Note that moving the mouse in the opposite direction Zooms Out. To cancel data zoom select "Reset Axes" from either the context menu or Graph menu options.
Zoom allows you to change the overall zoom factor of the chart. This is achieved by clicking the left mouse button anywhere on the chart and dragging the mouse. Dragging the mouse toward the bottom of the chart area zooms out while dragging toward the top zooms in. If you have a wheel mouse you can zoom in/out by clicking on the chart then use the wheel to zoom in/out.
