Stopping the plot from scrolling in the Watch Window

The Freeze Scroll button toggles the scroll freeze on and off. By default, the plot will keep scrolling left as new data is plotted, but you may want to look at data collected earlier. When you freeze the scroll, the plot background will change from white to a pale gray color. You can freeze the scroll by either:

1. Clicking the Freeze Scroll button.
2. Dragging the horizontal scroll bar.
3. Checking View | Freeze Scroll.

To resume automatic scrolling, press the Freeze Scroll button again or uncheck View | Freeze Scroll.
