To Modify the Data View

The View menu in the Graphing window enables you to show or hide various graph components and to change the display of your data. Although the following steps are presented sequentially, you can show or hide components in any sequence you desire.

1. To enable or disable the display of live (current) data, select or deselect Live Data in the View menu in the Graphing window.

   • If live data is enabled, the graph continually updates as new data is provided.

   • If live data is disabled, the graph is static. The graph does not update with new data until you re-enable live data.

2. To show or hide the header, select or deselect Show Header from the View menu in the Graphing window.

3. To show or hide the footer, select or deselect Show Footer from the View menu in the Graphing window.

4. To show or hide the X-axis and Y-axis titles, select or deselect Show Axis Titles from the View menu in the Graphing window.

5. To show or hide the X-axis and Y-axis labels, select or deselect Show Axes from the View menu in the Graphing window.

6. To show or hide the grid lines, select or deselect Show Grids from the View menu in the Graphing window.

7. To show or hide the data legend, select or deselect Show Legend from the View menu in the Graphing window.

8. To rotate the graph, follow these steps:

   1. Choose Rotate Graph from the View menu in the Graphing window.

   2. Select the appropriate rotation value from the secondary menu.

9. To change the order of the data display, follow these steps:

   1. Choose Flip from the View menu in the Graphing window.

   2. Select either X-Axis or Y-Axis from the secondary menu

   When you flip the X-axis, the Y-axis moves to the other side of the graph. The time sequence reverses. In other words, instead of the oldest data appearing on the left of the graph, the newest data appears on the left of the graph.

   When you flip the Y-axis, the X-axis moves to the top of the graph. The data sequence reverses. In other words, smaller values appear at the top of the graph rather than on the bottom of the graph.

10. To reset the rotation and flip values, choose Reset View from the View menu in the Graphing window.
