maximum values of a data parameter to be changed.

b. Edit Min and Edit Max enables the keypad to be used to

set the minimum and maximum values respectively. The
value also can be assigned a positive or negative value.

c. Selecting Learn and Learn All allows the Tech 2 to learn

the min/max values of a highlighted parameter or of all
selected parameters.

d. Selecting Restore Default restores the default min/max

values of the highlighted parameter.

6. To stop the plot function for analysis, select Pause. Resume

will restart the Live Plot.
