3.5.2.1 Lux Plot

In the center of the GUI window you will see a plot showing the lux reading from the device on the y-axis and the sample number on the x-axis. The plot settings can be tweaked by right clicking on the plot. The x-axis and y-axis options under the right-click menu allow the range of x and y-axes displayed to be changed. There is also an auto option that will dynamically change the range to match the data. Scrolling will zoom in to or zoom out from the plot. Left-clicking and dragging will display a yellow rectangle that will, upon releasing the mouse, zoom the data to the rectangle drawn. Right-clicking and dragging up or down zooms the y-axis. Right-clicking and dragging right or left will zoom the x-axis. Right clicking and selecting "View All" will reset the view.
