Figure 5-26 Sample properties dialog box

The sweep options let you choose the amount of data that displays across the graph. Values are 
in sample points, or frames of data. A frame of data equals one complete transmission of the serial 
data by the control module.

Graph View

Graph View allows you to simultaneously display up to 16 parameter graphs (

Figure 5-27

). The 

graphs must first be opened in the data list in order to be included when Graph View is selected 
from the toolbar. The display defaults to a single graph if more than 16 graphs are open when the 
toolbar button is selected. Should this happen, return to the data list and close some of the graphs.
