The Graphic Display (Parameter reading) is now updated. For access, go to one of the following places.

Components Parameters Selected -->Graphical View.

The following updates are made: 

1. Scrollbar added on the X axis (horizontal).
2. Zoom the diagram in and out by using the scroll wheel on your mouse or two-finger scroll on a laptop mousepad. You can place the cursor over the value you want the zoom to be centered around. This is applicable for both X-and Y-axis (vertical).
3. The Y-axis has one scale for each parameter. To move the parameter graph right-click on the value in the axis and move up or down.
4. The colors in the diagram will now be saved in the file, when you save a file from VIDA version 20.15 or later. Next time you open the file the colors are kept the same as you left them.
5. Updated layout for the buttons - Stop button is replaced by Pause.
6. Home button - If the image is partly out of sight, the home button resets the image to a predefined view where all the signals are visible.
7. The arrow keys can be used for navigating on the X-and Y-axis. The Pg Up and Pg Dn keys can be used for zooming in and out.

It is possible to move the values in the vertical axis by right-clicking on the mouse and dragging the value up or down to the desired location, see the image below.

1. Values before moving vertically.
2. Values after moving vertically
