How does "scale multiplier" works on a chart?

[Ex-jobb]

Hello!

We wonder if anyone can explain how this one works? And "xscale maximum" too... in the headline it should be "xscale.multiplier". We tried to analyse it but can not figure it out... so if anyone could explain this we would be greatful. Thank you. Best regards!

Hello Ex-jobb,

scale multiplier multiplies your input data...
Let's say you have data measured in meter and want to display this in millimeter. So you can multiply your data with 1000 to get millimeter values or set the scale.multiplier to 1000 and the graph scales the data itself (and only for display). I did this to let the user easily change the displayed unit of data. But be aware that cursors will also give you the scaled values!

Best regards,

Since you asked specifically about a chart, which is time based - the multiplier determines the distance between each 2 points as a number of seconds.
If you're updating the chart every second, this should be 1. If you're updating it ten times a second, it should be 0.1 and so on.
