Data Analysis: Plotter Options
The Plotter Options dialog (Figure 1) configures most aspects of the plotter area, the default directories, and ASCII data file parameters. Plotter Options can be opened using the Data Analysis main menu Configurations -> Options selection. It can also be opened using the right mouse menu "Options" selection while over the Tool Dialog, plotter, or Channel Value Pane areas.
Table 1 gives descriptions of what each Plotter Options tab is for.
