How does the observer change the system and/or plot colors?

 

Question: How does the observer change the system and/or plot colors?
 
Answer: The Application Utilities allows the user to look at the color setup being used with the system for tabular data and plots. The administrator and operator may change these profiles. The two options are System Color Setup and Plot Display Color Setup. (See Exhibits 6-7 and 6-8) Changing colors requires only to click the left mouse button on the desired color, a window appears, and then select the color you wish. .

NOTE: Each observer may change the system and plot colors. The change will not affect other users.
