-The ''dataMine'' plugin installs as a device, and by clicking on the tools button you are presented with two tabs. The first one is the graph tab. This has a listbox to list all the available variables, and a number of buttons. The buttons allow you to select the last day/week/month, or all data, and to scroll and zoom the data. You can also zoom by selecting an area of the graph with the mouse. If you put the mouse close to a data point, the datapoint will be highted with a red circle, and the time and value will be displayed in the bottom righ corner of the graph. (note that there is an issue here - the background UI needs to be scrolled to the top or the mouse position will be incorrect).

+The following image shows the channel selection box. There are four fields of interest on each line. First, there's an arrow button. Pressing this will instantly graph this channel with no further action required. Next is the variable name. Clicking on this selects the channel, and enables two further buttons. The first button on the right is a "go" button - it will display all variables currently selected. The second button allows you to select two the left or right axis. This is extremely useful if you have different types of data (say, temperature and humidity) which would otherwise not graph well on the same scale.

 The config tab allows you to select the variables to log. This provides a list of all variables for devices that aren't hidden. Variables are listed by service, and if you click on the variable name, logging will be enabled. Clicking again will disable logging, but the variable will still be listed in the graph page dropdown. There's also a little clock button for selected variables. Clicking on this will generate the hourly/daily data for the different zoom levels (currently this is only manual, but it will be made automatic soon).
