1. To open another Text Display window, repeat the steps on page 2-5 and 2-6.
2. To display the desired process parameter(s) in the new window, repeat Steps 1-4 above.
3. Arrange the multiple Text Display windows as desired using the Window menu.
2.3.3 The Graphing Output
To collect data from the instrument and display it graphically in a new format, complete the following steps:
2.3.3.1 Setting Up a Graph
