X-Axis Property Menu

Use the X-axis property menu to:

Move the graph period backwards by time period (hours, days, weeks, months, years)
Move the graph to the present date or to a specified date
Change the period of the graph
Compare the signal with another time
Hide and display selected signals in the graph
Highlight and remove highlight for selected signals

Where do I find it?

In the graph area, right-click the X-axis to open the X-axis property menu. If comparing two periods, right-click the lower X-axis to open the X-axis property menu.

Which and how many items the menu contains depend of the previous selections made.

This menu does not exist for the Embedded Graph Basic, which is operated differently – see separate help page.

Preconditions

Stand-alone Graphs and Operator Graphs must be opened in a graph window. Embedded graphs are permanently displayed as part of a diagram.
