Scroll features include a scroll bar with integrated scaling control, precision scrolling and
fast scroll.
Scroll controls for the time axis include (Figure 158):

and dragging on the arrows at either end of the scroll bar changes the time scale of the
plot.
2. Scroll with time scale bar- place the mouse pointer on the time scale. When a hand
appears, click and drag left or right to scroll.
3. Precision scroll arrows - move the mouse pointer to the right or left end of the time
scale (depending on the direction that you want to scroll) when an arrow icon appears,
click and hold to scroll in the selected direction.

If your plot is long, contains a lot of plotted items and value changes, scrolling may seem
slow because the plot is refreshed as you scroll. The Fast Scroll setting (Tools>Fast
Scroll) allows you to scroll rapidly when a large amount of data is plotted. When fast scroll is
selected, the value changes in the plot are not refreshed until you stop scrolling.
Fit to Window Decreases the plot to fit into the display tab.
Zoom mode
Zoom in or out on an area that you select. When you select Zoom Mode,
the mouse pointer changes to a magnifying glass.
– Zoom In – (“+” in the magnifying glass) click and drag to define the area
to enlarge. Zooms in to view the selected area.
– Zoom Out – (“-” in the magnifying glass) Hold down CTRL, then click and
drag to define the area. The display decreases when you release the
mouse button. The size of the area that you define affects the magnitude
of the zoom out (smaller area = smaller zoom out, larger area = larger
zoom out).
To disable this mode and return to the pointer icon, click a second time on
the Zoom Mode Icon on the tool bar.
