Clicking the

button displays the graph trending the PI ratio versus time, and has similar

features to the other trending graphs.

Figure 79.

PI trending graph.

HiPot

Clicking on

HiPot

in the dropdown box brings up a graph of the HiPot leakage current data.

This has the same features as the MegOhm trending graph.
