The Multi Channel software allows you to create and arrange
graphs the way you want. New graphs can be created on the
main screen of the Multi Channel software and can be moved
to a separate window outside the main screen.

Creating new graphs
Creating new graphs is very easy: Simply click the new graph
quick function button . This will create a new graph in the
in the area of the largest available graph, dividing √
that area
in two. When the width of the area is larger than 2 times
its height, the new graph will be created next to the existing
graph. Otherwise, it will be created below it.
It is also possible to create a graph at a self defined location.
1 Right-click anywhere in a graph on the main screen and
select Make new graph from the menu. 2 After dragging
a rectangle anywhere on the graph section, a new graph will
be created on the selected position. See figure 3.1.
The size of the newly created graph can be adjusted by
dragging the edges of the graph. When the mouse cursor is
moved over the edges of a graph, the mouse cursor will change
shape to indicate that the size of the graph can be changed.
