Overview
The Multi-Graph page allows data from several different Transmitters to be graphed together simultaneously.

Multi-Graph First Time Use
Multi-Graph is accessed by selecting the Multi-Graph Tab from any other Tab.
The first time that Multi-Graph is selected there will be no Multi-Graph to view. However there will be a list of Transmitters as based on your current filter. The list of Tasks and Periods will be the current Task and Period for the Transmitters for today.
The Multi-Graph is as shown below.
