Using the Chart
The chart is a graphical display of temperature vs. elapsed time for a run.
Elapsed time is displayed on the X axis in units of hours and temperature is
displayed on the Y axis in units of degrees C. A legend is provided to identify
and show the current value for each plot.
Panning and Zooming
By default, chart scales are automatically adjusted to fit the available data.
This auto-scaling feature may be turned on or off using the Auto Sscale item
X and Autoscale Y options on the pop-up menu obtained by right-clicking
on the chart.
The scale extents can be changed directly by dragging the X and Y axes. The
chart display can be panned by dragging the chart with the left mouse button
held down. When changing scale or panning the chart, Auto Scale will be
turned off. Double-click the chart to turn Auto Scale back on.
Legend
The legend identifies each of the plots on the chart. Each plot has a legend
item showing its name, color, units, and current value. To hide a plot,
double-click its legend item; it will appear dimmed. To show the plot,
double-click the legend item again. This can be useful when trying to look
at data files with many plots lying on top of each other.
Review Mode
Review mode allows the user to review data at any point during the process.
Review mode is turned on and off using the pop-up menu shown in
Figure 18. When in review mode, a vertical line is displayed on the chart, and
the elapsed time and legend items display values that correspond to that
location on the chart.

Exporting Data
Cryopilot provides two different methods to export data. It can export an
image of the current chart view or it can export raw data for viewing in a
spreadsheet application.
Export Chart
To export the chart, select the Edit > Copy > Chart menu item. The chart is
copied to the Windows clipboard as a bitmap image. The chart may be
pasted to other applications by selecting Edit>Paste or pressing Ctrl+V. This
option is useful where a quick snapshot of the data is needed, for example in
a slide presentation. Use the Copy>Data option if the data must be further
analyzed.
