Zoom in/out with the zoom buttons buttons. Without a ruler, zoom starts from the center of the graph. With a ruler, the zoom centers the ruler time and starts from there. If the ruler is too close to end time, the trend curve will adjust to that when zooming in.

Period

When using a period (1H, 6H, 1D, 2D, 1W, 2W, 1MO or 2MO), the displayed time will be adapted to end time if there is a current value. A change of period always forces new data to be read and the curves to be redrawn. The use of the Shorter Period or Longer Period is a quick way of increasing or decreasing the selected Period.
