Stepwise Instructions:
(1) Find the PV (Process Variable) names to be plotted on the X-Y axes, and the PV Groups they
belong to.
Note that the PVs "Time" and "TimeOfDay" are included in all PV
data groups. The PV names belonging to the ME/Water systems, and their data groups can be found on
the page

(7) Click "SCAN FILE(s)" button near the bottom. Two windows will open; one for
the X-variable and the other for Y-variables.
(8) Scroll the x-choices window, highlight one PV, click on the"Accept"
button and then on "Close."
(9) Scroll the y-choices window, highlight a PV, click on the "Accept"
button. Repeat Highlighting and Accept while holding down Ctrl key to add more PVs. Click on "Close" button.
