Moving Average Slider

Note:
Make sure that you stop the grid movie before you make a time series graph, this can cause the system to slow down because multiple processes have to be executed that take a lot of processing time.
Setting the display time
The display time in the spatial display can be changed in the standalone system only . The use is similar to the setting the display time in the data display, but with less modification possibilities.
