The Y-axis of the generated graphs can be segmented into ten divisions, and the program also supports auto-email transmission of measurement data with Outlook Express version 6 or higher.

Notably, PC Link Plus also supports importing data to Excel in files with up to 65,536 lines. This versatility makes it incredibly useful for business, educational, and personal use.
