View RMCTools Plots and Event Logs On-The-Go RMCTools plots and event logs are no longer limited to being viewed on your desktop. View on the go, whether you get them via email, download from a cloud storage app, or have them on your device. RMCMobile can view them all. Simply share the file from another app into RMCMobile, or open RMCMobile directly to open files using the files browser. Multi-Plot Capabilities The plot viewer's multi-plot capabilities allow you to seamlessly switch between plots in a file without losing your place in the current plot. Toggle back and forth between plots quickly, or use the full plot switcher to jump to any plot in the file. Powerful Plot Zooming Not only can you zoom into the entire plot for more detail on both the vertical and horizontal axes using natural pinch gestures, but you can also vertically scale and offset individual scalegroups to separate them from and compare them to similar plot quantities. When you want to undo a scalegroup's individual zoom or vertical offset, it's just a tap away. Want to return the entire plot to its freshly-opened, un-zoomed state? That's just another tap away. Event Log Filtering Search through an event log to find any entries with a certain word or axis in them.
