[IDV #CPD-759331]: data probe/time series properties

Great!

I am glad we got to the bottom of the mystery.

Curiously, I actually right click on the chart to get the appropriate 
properties dialog. (You can actually see this in the movie.)

I remember this confusion came up last time when we were discussing the data 
probe changes.

So there is another mystery, but at least you have a solution for now.
