System performance decreases as more graphs are opened. To improve 
system performance, increase the polling frequency (higher number of seconds 
between polls) and/or tile the graphs (fastest refresh time). Refer to 
 for information on the arrangement and size of 
graphs in the display..
To change this polling frequency, do the following:
1. Open the Graph menu, and select Set Polling Frequency to open the Set Graph
