Atmospheric sensors are also indicated in the graph. You can tell one from another by the color coding in the "button box" above the graph. The barometric pressure is in orange, the humidity is purple, the temperature is green, and the "amplitude" is blue. The legend at the right side of the graph is the scale for the currently selected sensor. Usually it shows the temperature readings.

The value in the bottom left corner of the window indicates the horizontal scale of the graph. If it reads less than "100.00%", the scale is compressed to fit more data on the screen, and every reading is not shown.

To the right of this is a legend that indicates how much timekeeping error is represented by each horizontal line above or below the middle of the graph. Vertical lines through the graph indicate the start of each hour (or day, if several days are displayed).

There are several text boxes above the graph to indicate details of the data. "# of samples" shows how many readings have been collected in this file.

"Last reading" is the last measurement of the pendulum that was taken by the MicroSet timer.

"Average" is the average rate over the current data file.

"Target rate" is the correct rate for the clock, which for this clock is 1.250000 seconds.

"Average error" tells us how fast or slow the clock's average rate is over the duration of the current data file.

"Instability" tells us how consistent the clock has been over the time measured. The Seth Thomas is so good this will probably always be zero.

"Pend length" is the functional length of the clock pendulum as calculated from the measured rate. "Pend adjust" tells us how far (in inches) we would need to move the bob to make the clock run exactly correct.
