Tour of the Quick Plot
Figure 1.1 shows an example in which the Quick Plot panel is shown to the right within a Slot Viewer. Figure 1.2 shows the same view with the Quick Plot panel on the bottom. In both cases, the columns for two series slots are selected, so the data for those slots are displayed in the Quick Plot.

Limitations
The following are limitations of the Quick Plot:
• Multiple slots can be plotted on one plot, but only two Unit Types can be shown on a single quick plot. Data for the third, fourth, and so on Unit Types are not plotted.
• The default plotting settings, configured in the Settings Manager are used for axis configuration, line types, range, and so on.
• Table Slot data can be shown, but only one table is shown at a time.
• The relative sizes of the window and panels are not saved and may need to be resized frequently. This may be improved in the future.
