Usage/Installation Instructions

Top button will turn ON the LockGuard, and the axis ranges for both X/Y axes will be locked and kept, independent of the following action (plot new curve, copy/paste curve, ...).

Bottom button will turn LockGuard OFF and default HG axis range behaviour is used again.
