Note – System performance decreases as more graphs are opened. To improve
system performance, increase the polling frequency (higher number of seconds
between polls) and/or tile the graphs (fastest refresh time). Refer to “Arranging
Graphs in the Display” on page197 for information on the arrangement and size of
graphs in the display..
To change this polling frequency, do the following:
1. Open the Graph menu, and select Set Polling Frequency to open the Set Graph
Polling Frequency dialog.
