Time span for graphs

I am a new Cumulus user, and am downloading data from a Davis Vantage Pro2. I also use the Davis Weatherlink software. I notice that the Cumulus graphs apparently only have a time span of approximately 24 hours. Is it possible for the programme to show a graph to coincide with the month's figures. I do monthly wx report for the local paper and this feature would be handy, though I can do it if necessary from Weatherlink.
TIA

The graphs are designed to show the last 'N' hours on a rolling basis. You can set the value of 'N' on the display settings screen. I wouldn't recommend setting it to too high a figure (more than a few days) as performance will suffer. You can't set the graphs to start at a particular fixed point, e.g. the start of the month.
You can manually create graphs for any particular period from the data in the log files using 'Select-A-Graph' (on the 'View' menu).

Using the 'View | Select-A-Graph' menu option in Cumulus you can specify whatever range you want for a graph. This does not affect the graphs that appear on the web page though.
Edit: Steve's too quick!

Thanks for your speedy responses. No sooner I had posted the query I noticed the "select-A-Graph in the view menu which does the job perfectly!
