Customize Y Axis on charts derived from poller data

Is there a way to set the min and max for the Y axis when displaying data from a universal poller in a chart?  

Ever since moving from Orion 9 SP1 to Orion 9 SP2 the Y axis does not start at a zero value. For example, when displaying a range of data from 78 to 93 the Y axis starts at 78 and goes up to 93.  (With Orion 9 SP1 the Y axis started at a zero value but sometimes data moved up beyond the max of the Y axis making unclear exactly what the value was)

This does not give any perspective to the data, since if the data collected for a certain poller usually ranges from 4 to 6 on device A and ranges from 5 to 12 on device B the chart for device A makes changes in data appear much more dramatic.

In the above example I would like to be able to set the min value on the Y axis to 0 and max to 20 for charts derived from the poller.

Also, if the data does not change very often (say the value stays at 4 most of the time) then 4 will be the min value on the Y axis.  This makes the chart look like a blank chart since the data line will fall on top of the X axis line.  

Thanks

     We can't allow different ranges, but if you want the graph to always start at zero, you can download the attached file (CustomPollers-NetPerfmon.Charts), replace the version of it in the Orion folder under Program Files, and then restart IIS.  All UnDP charts will then start at zero.
