Change the Timeframe of the History Graphs (1 Min to 1 Week)¶

The Timeframe control sets how far back the time-series charts display history in the Network Diagnostics dialog. Use it to zoom out for long-term trend analysis or zoom in to examine a short burst of packet loss or latency.

Before you start¶

Open the Network Diagnostics dialog via Settings > Network....
Navigate to any graph tab: Overview, Latency, Rates, Packet Loss, or Audio. The Timeframe control is hidden when the Logs tab is active.

Steps¶

Click Settings > Network... to open the Network Diagnostics dialog.
Select a graph tab — Overview, Latency, Rates, Packet Loss, or Audio.
Locate the Timeframe combo box in the top-right corner of the tab bar.
Click Timeframe and select the desired value from the drop-down list.

The charts update immediately to show the selected history window.

What each control does¶

Control	Kind	Default	Valid values	Behavior
Timeframe	Combo box	5 minutes	1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week	Sets how far back all time-series charts display history. Hidden when the Logs tab is active.

Tips¶

The Timeframe selector applies to all graph tabs simultaneously. Switching tabs after changing the value keeps the same window.
Selecting 1 week on a freshly connected session will show empty graph area until enough data has been collected. The charts display "Collecting graph data" until at least one data point is available.
Use 1 minute or 5 minutes to isolate a specific audio dropout or latency spike; use 1 hour or longer to assess overall link stability over a session.

Troubleshooting¶

Timeframe selector is not visible — The Logs tab is active. Switch to any other tab (Overview, Latency, Rates, Packet Loss, or Audio) and the selector reappears in the top-right corner of the tab bar.
Charts show "Collecting graph data" after changing to a longer timeframe — Historical data is only available from the moment AetherSDR connected. No data is stored between sessions.
