2. Open Windows Excel.
3. Open the CSV file containing your extracted path data.
4. Select the columns labelled Actual Steering Angle and Unit 1-2 Articulation Angle by clicking on the column letter designator.
5. On the ribbon, select Insert Line From Chart.
6. Select one of the line graph types.

   A graph is inserted showing steering angle and articulation angle varying with distance along the path. Select and right click to change the chart type or edit the formatting options.
