Using the Select Filter dialog

Use the Select Filter dialog to analyze data for data points that only meet certain traceability criteria you set. This can also be used to sort data in order by a value other than the date/time stamp. Filters are stored in GainSeeker and can be used again to analyze data without having to create a new filter each time.
