Configure the Appearance of the Channel Plot Window

Configure the appearance of the Channel Plot window as follows:

In the

Plot and Data Config

window, set up the following parameters:

Ensure that the

Visible Plot

column is checked for both enabled channels.

Leave the

Show Cursor

column unchecked for all three enabled channels.

Under

Plot Column

, use the default plot column setting of 1 for both enabled

channels.

Under the

Signal Group

column, select

for both thermocouple channels.

Under the

Color

column, assign a unique color to each trace.

In the display area, click the tab for the

Channel Plot

window.

Click the

Show Legend

control (

) on the toolbar.

Change the text for the label on the x-axis, by doing the following:

Right-click on the label.
