Note
The trend graphs to the right of the smaller bar graphs provide a graphical representation of activity in
the past 10 to 60 seconds. The height of an individual trend graph is proportional to the width of its
corresponding bar graph. The time is displayed as a negative value to indicate that the data is older at
the left edge of the graph than at the right. Use the up and down arrows to select the desired number of
seconds from -10 through -60. The default value is -10.
