Topic:
How to change the scale of logs displayed in synthetics.

Description:
        

Solution:
Changing the log scale can be done in the individual log track, or can be done 
with a 'log type appearance set'.  Changing the scale in the log track only changes the scale for the particular log(s) in that specific track, whereas changing the scale in the 'log type appearance set' allows you to set the scales for any log type and not just those in the specific track.

To change the log scale in the log track:
1.) In the log track, click MB3/Appearance and the 'Log appearance definition' 
menu will open

2.) Select a log curve from the list on the left

3.) Enter the desired scales in the 'Right' and 'Left' text boxes (Note: 
reversing the numbers in the 'Right' and 'Left' boxes with reverse the polarity 
of the curve

4.) Click the 'Update' button, and the log track with redraw with your updates


To change the log scale via a log type appearance set:
1.) In the log track, click MB3/Track Appearance and the 'Log track appearance' menu will open.  In that menu, at the bottom right, click on 'Log type appearance set parameters', and the 'Log type appearance definition' menu will open.  (Or, at the top of the Synthetic menu, click on Define > Log type appearance).

2.) In the 'Log type appearance definition' menu, enter a name for the appearance set.  Select the desired log from the 'Available log types' list.  Once the log has been selected, it will show up in the 'Selected log types' list at the bottom left of the menu.  Select the log at the bottom left of the menu and enter the desired 'Right' and 'Left' settings for the scale.  Repeat the selection from the 'Available log types' list and the 'Selected log types' list  and enter the desired scales, and continue until all desired log types and scales have been entered. Click the 'Create' button and then the 'Dismiss' button.  Back in the 'Log track appearance' menu, select the newly created appearance set and click the 'Ok' button, and the log(s) will be redisplayed with the new scales.
