Sounds like you're missing much of what can be done with Lady Heather.
(Which is understandable because the Doc is poor)

The first thing you can do is set the display filter with FD100.
See the attached LH screen dump for a few other useful time-nut things that can be done with LadyHeather.

I think the graph is not using peak detect for the plotting.  I leave 
mine set at a 12-hour window and all the points are moving around every 
second.  When plotting more data than will fit in the available 
resolution, it is best to "bin" the points that correspond to each plot 
bin/pixel.  Then you can plot a bar (min/max) or a single point (mean) 
for that bin.
