 To clarify, these settings aren't aren't Band Pass, Low Pass and High Pass
 Filter. This setting is like the 'time base' control on oscilloscopes. It
 essentially helps one fit the waveform on the screen according to the
 appropriate frequency. For example if one isnt able to fit the complete
 waveform on the screen, means one need to select a larger time base etc...
 Very technically, if we want to call this a filter, IMHO it would be a low
 pass filter with increasing cutoff frequency as the slider frequency.

 lines? About 2 to 6 seconds across the width of the display seems good.

 One second means one second interval between every two samples that are
 recorded. Each sample is one value. These logging features are generally
 useful when one has connected say a temperature sensor and one wants to
 record the temperature variations over a day at an interval of one hour
 (in these we will select the 1 hour logging interval)

 adjustment could reduce the need for the slider. (can't entirely eliminate
 it though)

 I had thought about it earlier (having automatic range adjustment, much
 like 'autoset' we have in modern oscilloscopes) However I believe that
 such a feature takes out half the learning from the process (and also half
 the fun).

 would help. There could be a way to make the graph full-screen.

 Response time has been found to drastically deteriorate with larger
 drawing area. I wouldn't mind help in optimizing code to improve response
 time.
