Zoom into a Specific Area

When you display the chart, Proficy CIMPLICITY's zoom feature lets you examine areas of the trend more closely.

  1. Place the mouse cursor in the chart area at one corner of the area you wish to examine in more detail.

  2. Hold down the left mouse key and slide the mouse cursor diagonally, making a rectangle enclosing the area you wish to examine.

  3. Lift the mouse button.

The chart will be redrawn to display the area you selected in a scale that fits the chart area.

 Note: While you are zoomed in, the auto update and run-time timers are ignored. The zoomed portion of the screen remains unchanged until you zoom out again, at which point new values are drawn and the timers are used again.

To return to your normal chart display:

  1. Place the mouse cursor in the chart area.

  2. Hold down the left mouse key and slide the mouse out of the trend control area.

  3. Lift the mouse button

The chart redraws in normal mode.
