On this form you will find some tool to help you working with the chart. (See screenshot below). 1. With this option you can hide metal loss line chart. Default value is checked. You can also choose to add symbol to each point of metal losses. 2. You can also show metal loss trend line. Default value is unchecked. 3. This is the corrosion rate value. When first load it shows corrosion rate for whole points. It will change dynamically when selection range is made to the chart. 4. To help you analyze the chart, we provide two tools : a. Set Min/Max value. With this tool you can change metal loss min scale and max scale (Y axis) of the chart. b. Add Offset value. If you want to add certain number to metal loss scale. 5. Filter range.
