Charts Tab

Along with the statistical display of each gauge, the Charts tab allows you to view a graphical representation of the statistical data. This gives you a visual display of the statistical information for comparison.

The Charts feature is very versatile in that it provides you with a multitude of options for creating various graphical representations of your data. For example, you can choose the gauge you wish to chart, the statistic you wish to chart, as well as select between a gauge chart, a bar chart, or a pie chart. In addition there are options that you can use to select criteria for comparison between gauges.
