# Display Buffer

The display buffer is simply the number of points that will be shown in a chart. Once the buffer fills up with data, old data is eliminated to make room for the new data. If your experiment takes place on the order of a few hours and you want to see all the data on the graph at the same time, choose the 10,000 point display buffer settting.
Please note that if more points allocated to the display buffer, then more PC memory is required. If the software seems to run very slowly, consider decreasing the size of the display buffer or adding more memory to your PC.
