Setting Default Chart Options

  1. Click the Performance Explorer Application Button (on the top left) and click Options.
  2. Check the Highlight Selected Series check box to display the currently selected series with an emphasized, thicker line.
    Note: While this option might be useful as long as you are working with charts, uncheck the check box before you export or print charts.
  3. Check the Overlay series check box to assume that all time series that are displayed in a chart start at the same time. Use this option when you are viewing a chart that contains time series from tests with different starting times.
  4. From the Background colors lists, select the colors that you want to use to enhance your charts. To use a custom color, click [...] to the right of the list box. Performance Explorer displays a vertical color transition from the first to the second color as the background image.
  5. From the Text and grid color list box, select the color that you want to use for the axis information and the grid in your charts. To use a custom color, click [...] to the right of the list box.
  6. In the Scaling area, you can enable the following features:
    • Enable Scale values between 0 and 100 to display scaled values rather than real time series data values.
    • Enable Use same scale factor for similar series to set the same scale factor for series of the same type.
  7. Click OK.
