Types

SEI offers a vast choice of graphics to display data.

The Type Selector from the Settings menu makes it easy to toggle between the different types of graphics to choose the desired representation of the data .

Note

Not all the graphics represent the data accurately, therefore it is important to choose the appropriate graphic depending on the type of data.

The View Type selector is organized in categories.
