Creating new graph [*].

To create new graph you may choose from following methods

  • Short path: To quickly make new graph press Plus you will be asked only for device. The result is very coarse - lot of fine tuning may be required.
  • Detailed setup: Run assistant and you will be guided through many steps of detailed setup.

Graph conditions

After each change to graph setup following checks are made [†]

If one of conditions is false, then the live graph sample is disabled.

[*]Currently there is no way to change device of existing graph. For example : if you dislike Core 0 graph and want to watch drawings for Core 3, you must remove graph for Core 0 and then add graph for Core 3.
[†]No unit checking here. All unit checks are made in graph min and graph max menu generation.
