Giovanni,

The horizontal grid lines require the "WITNES" values to be defined
in the TRACEn parameters, eg for temperature, I can set:
TRACE1   = TMPC;DWPC:3/2;3/-20-10-5/-15;-10;-5;0;5;10

Unfortunately, the TAXIS grid frequency for vertical lines is not defined,
so you aren't able to produce vertical lines at the time frequencies.
