View Action Category

Data Master 2003 provides a wide set of data visualization features. Commands in this category (by default, located in the View submenu of the main menu) should be used to control visual data presentation.

With View commands you may select desirable data presentation - display only worksheet, only plot or both worksheet and plot (note that you can set initial data window state in the Application Properties dialog box).
Plot viewer can display unlimited number of curves, or series. View commands allow you to make 2D plots of your data. See also Serie Properties dialog box (View|Properties|Current Serie) and Serie Manager (Options|Serie Manager) window for more details about series management.
