data point is selected, the area is undefined.
Min. The minimum Y value for the selected region.
Max. The maximum Y value for the selected region.
Avg. The average Y value for the selected region.
Slope. The slope calculated between the first and the last samples in the region.
Unless the data are very linear, this is relatively meaningless

Four buttons are available at the bottom of this screen:
Close. This closes the analysis window. When the analysis window is closed, another

this option is not checked (off), normal zooming of the graph is enabled once again.
Print. This option allows both the analysis information and the graph to be printed to a
printer.
