2.  Zoom Function:  The line voltage graph may be zoomed along both 

the X (time) and Y (Voltage) axes.  To zoom in on an area of the 
graph, press the magnifying glass icon, press and hold the left mouse 
button somewhere on the graph, drag the cursor to define the zoom 
selection, and then release the left mouse button.  The graph will now 
display the selected area.  Press the magnifying glass icon to restore 
the original full display. 

 

 

 

 

3.  Cross Hair Function:  The cross hair tool is useful when determining 

the magnitude and date/time of a line voltage measurement.  Press 
the cross hair icon to place a cross hair on one of the 

graph’s data 

points, and the corresponding date, time, and magnitude of that data 
point will be displayed when the mouse pointer hovers over that point: 

 

 

 

To move the cross hair to a different data point, simply 
position the mouse pointer over the data point of interest.
