Drill Information Dialog Box
¾ Chart Autoscaling – Allows you to keep the entire Profile and Deviation points viewable during
the logging of a run. If Chart Autoscaling is not checked, then the Profile and Deviation plots will
go “off the chart,” or outside the viewable area. This feature may be useful if a run is very long.
Port Menu Commands
The Port menu has four options, which are listed as 1, 2, 3, and 4. These numbers
represent the serial (COM) ports available. The Port menu is used to select a COM
port for connecting the computer to the remote display to receive the SST trans-
mitter’s data.
For more information on how to connect the remote display to a port on your computer, see “COM
Port Status Window and START/STOP Buttons” later in this section.
