Graph Presets

You can configure graph presets to customize the Data Acquisition phase of the CPTs.

Graph presets let you choose which type of data (channels) you can see being plotted in the four available graphs and customize the colors of the graphs for better visualization. The image below shows a test with a custom preset in which eight different channels can be seen being plotted, two per graph, each in a different colored line.
