  • Mode: Manual Use Min Range: and Max: to set axis scaling (default).
  • Mode: Auto Automatically rescale the axis min and max to fit the currently visible data.
  • Mode: Auto Hold Similar to the above option except never decrease the min or max values, i.e. it is a peak hold.
  • Min: First value from the left appearing on the axis.
  • Max: Last value from the left appearing on the axis.
  • Apply: Selected Apply all changes made to axes of selected plots.
  • Apply: Page Apply all changes made to all matching type plots on the current page.
