  2. Column: changing signal names:  double click (or holding right mouse button down for 800ms) opens window for several actions: -> changing signal name, -> unpack bits from         word,  - etc.

    -> click the right mouse button in the grid (on signal names)
    -> select and shift-select: multiple selection
    To jump to signal number, enter signal number (second column must be selected
  3. Column: math. functions, scalings, etc.
    In third column you can signals scale, filter or can be processed with other functions
    (See pull down menue for this column (on top of this column))
  4. Column: line width (mouse click)
  5. Column: select color (using right mouse button)
    Drag/Drop possible! Select color and, with pressed key, shift on an other signal; select
    color -> group of colors will be set (colors can be easy changed in graphic mode as well.
  6. Column: changing visible nummeric format (normal, hex, binary, special)
    Fupla = converting range from 0..65536 into range   -32768..32767) and divide by 40.96
    In graphic mode, values will be display in the selected format
    If you have selected hex "H" or binary "B" in this column, then in graphic view the value will be displayed in in binary  and hexadecimal formats well. 
    E.g. In graphic mode, activate the numeric panel: -> menu "Numeric", "Show/Hide value panel"
  7. Column: Y axis define for graphic mode:
    Four positions for axis labels (the automatic y axis will be disabled):
    Text and position can be defined.
    Position can be 1...4
            1 and 2 for left margin,
            3 and 4 for right margin
    Example: v[km/h],2    -> on position 2 the axis with label "v[km/h]" will be displayed
    Offset and scaling  is possible as well:
    Example: v[km/h],*1
    Example: v[km/h],-10 *2
  8. Column: Group names for graphic view in separated mode:
    You can add group names. Signals with the same group name will be displayed in the same range in the graphic; e.g. you can sum up similar signals (e.g. tractive efforts, speeds, etc).
    The group name is displayed instead of the signal names.
