Chapter 3 Working with MultiLab
1. Split graph view
MultiLab enables you to display your data in two separate graphs within the graph
window.

Split graph
on the graph toolbar to split the graph window
into two separate graphs
2. Click
Edit graph

dialog box
3. Choose which data sets to display on each of the graphs (or use the
Data Map to do so – see page 64)

Split graph
a second
time
2. The Cursor
You can display up to two cursors on the graph simultaneously.
Use the first cursor to display individual data recording values, to select a curve or to
reveal the hidden Y-axis.
Use two cursors to display the difference between two coordinate values or to select
a range of data points.
To display the first cursor:
Double click on an individual data point or click
Cursor
on the graph toolbar.
You can drag the cursor with the mouse onto any other point on the plot, or onto a
different plot. For finer cursor movements use the forward and backward keys on the
keyboard.
The coordinate values of the selected point will appear in the information bar at the
bottom of the graph window.
To display the second cursor:
Double click again anywhere on the graph area or click
2
nd
Cursor
.
The information bar will now display the difference between the two coordinate
values.
To remove the cursors:
Double click anywhere on the graph area, or click
1
st
Cursor
a second time.
To remove the 2
nd
cursor:
Click
2
nd
Cursor
a second time.
To display the cursors in split graph mode:
To display the cursors on the upper graph, use the same method as for single graph
mode.
To display the cursors on the lower graph, you must first remove them from the upper
graph and then double click anywhere on the lower graph to display the first cursor.
Double click a second time to display the second cursor, and double click a third time
to remove the cursors.
