                Click Difference-Measure button, then the blue constantLine and red constantLine will show, move any of the constantLine to the data point you want to measure, then move another one. The timestamp of the data point and the time interval you want to measure will display at bottom left of Graphics chart. When you move constantLine, it will snap to the neareast data ponits and show the values of the signals.See as Figure 1-6 and Figure 1-7.
