What is a quadrant?
Quadrants are the four sections of a plane formed by the intersec-
tion of two perpendicular lines. The point of intersecton repre-
sents 0, the vertical axis force and the horizontal axis time.
ZP-Recorder limits all graphs to the first and fourth quadrants.
Basic Configuration
Setup quadrants, units and axes for proper operation. High and
low limits are optional.
