to which the user can choose Yes or No. If the user selects Yes, a save dialog will appear. The
default directory is the one selected using the Set Default Directory… command under the File
menu. The naming format of the file is structured so that the tests will be stored in chronological
order: YYYY-MM-DD-HR-MM.

This plots the Position (%) versus Command (%) or Time (sec.) and the cylinder pressures. The X-axis
can be changed from Command to Time in the radio button box located above the graph.
Actuator Pressure/Position
This plot isolates and expands the actuator pressures versus position for easier viewing.
