In the resulting pop-up menu select 'Re-scale'. A form with two tabs will be displayed. That labelled 'Axis' enables the maximum and minimum values of the axis to be modified. That labelled 'Plot' enables you to adjust individual plot maxima and minima.

We have included a new reference library which addresses some issues with protection device data. This library is called ERA_Reference_Library and is located in the directory called Libraries off of the main ERACS directory. We have made this library read only with the intention that users cannot edit it since we will be updating it at future releases. Please note that you will be able to copy keys from it and of course reference keys from it. We suggest that if you wish to use keys from it that you copy them to your own library.
