Multichart

Overview

Multichart is a tool that allows you to use predefined layouts. The layouts divide a workspace to fit several charts on one screen at the same time. Each chart can display data for a specific instrument, aggregation period, chart type; can have a unique customized appearance, and so on. 

The chart elements and data for each chart in a multichart can be synchronized across all the charts in the layout. This means that changes made to any chart in a multichart mode are applied to all charts. You can choose exactly which elements and data to synchronize across all charts by selecting the appropriate items in the Multichart > Synchronize column.
