Select the display type and parameter from the menu bar,
and the display will be added to (or deleted from) the

Note that some of the check boxes will be dimmed
depending on the display. For example, the Forecast can
not be displayed from the graphs or strip charts because it
is not saved in the database. All parameters can be viewed
