 I've not mentioned the filename date format one before because I really intend to change that eventually to something more flexible. For now, though, if you'd like to change the format of the default date string on new captures, you can adjust that one setting. I've not mentioned the filename date format one before because I really intend to change that eventually to something more flexible.

-===== DEFAULT DISPLAY ITEMS =====+===== Default display items =====
 When you select ''​Display->​Toggle default set'',​ DSMLink looks to the ''​calcroutines.prefs''​ file to determine which display items to leave checked and which to unchecked in the graph legend. You specify which to leave checked as illustrated below. When you select ''​Display->​Toggle default set'',​ DSMLink looks to the ''​calcroutines.prefs''​ file to determine which display items to leave checked and which to unchecked in the graph legend.

-===== DISPLAY ALL TWEAK =====+===== Display-all ​=====
 There are a LOT of displayable items in DSMLink. You may find that you like the ''​Display->​All''​ function if you could only prevent a few of the more obscure items from appearing in the legend. This can be done using the Display.ignore property like so: There are a LOT of displayable items in DSMLink.

-===== DISPLAY ITEM COLORS ​=====+===== Display item colors ​=====
 Normally, the order of a displayed item in the ''​Display->​Values''​ list will determine its color on the screen.
