Viewing and modifying chart data

When selected counters are using measurement units that are not proportionally similar, the scaling factor can be set manually to allow a more meaningful display. The following sections explain how you can manually change the scaling factor for the chart view.

 

Scaling the chart display manually

To manually change the scale of a counter:

1. In the counter selection window, on the lower right, double-click the Scale column for the counter that you want to modify.

2. Type the desired scale value for the counter into the field.

The chart view will be updated immediately to reflect the change in the scaling factor.

The possible values for the Scale field range from 0 to 100 and show the following relationships: < 1 Scaling reduces the value. For example, a scale of 0.5 means that the data points for the variable are reduced to half of their actual values. = 1 The value is not scaled. This is the default. > 1 Scaling increases the value. For example, a scale of 1.5 means that the data points for the variable are increased to one and one-half times their actual values.

Negative results are displayed as zero (0).

This value is reflected only in the View Chart window.
