Rubber band scaling allows you to "lasso" an area of the trend chart with the mouse cursor to automatically adjust the time and value axis scales based on the area that you lassoed. If you are using stacked traces, rubber band scaling is limited to the time axis.
To use rubber band scaling
-
From the Chart menu, in the Zoom group, click Selection so that it is highlighted.
-
Unless you are using stacked traces, rubber band scaling affects both the time and the value axes. Time axis scaling always applies to all tags in the chart. Value axis scaling can apply to all tags or the currently selected tag only. If you want value axis scaling to apply to all tags, from the Chart menu, in the Zoom group, click Select All so that it is highlighted.
If you are using stacked traces, rubber band scaling affects the time axis only, and this setting has no effect.
-
Drag a box around the area you want to use for the new scale.
The trend chart is automatically redrawn using the new zooming values that you selected with the mouse.
