7.2. Traffic chart

Shows the chart of transferred data. The horizontal axis shows time, the vertical axis the connection load (in bytes per second).

Buttons with arrows above the chart moves the vertical axis (from left to right):

Buttons with a magnifying glass above the chart set the scale of the x-axis — i.e. the time interval that will be presented in the chart. The displayed interval can be between 1 minute and 1 year.

Buttons with a magnifying glass right to the chart set the scale of the vertical axis. Moreover, there exists an option Auto, which automatically adjusts the scale of this axis to the maximum captured value in the given representation (the option is implicitly turned on). This guarantees good readability of the chart.

Right mouse click in the chart area shows a menu with the following items:

Save chart as picture

Saves the chart as a picture in JPEG or BMP format.

Zoom in, Zoom out

Zooms in/zooms out the scale of the horizontal axis (time interval). The functionality of these options is the same as the functionality of the buttons “magnifying glass +” and “magnifying glass -” above the chart.
