Hi 156Lafayette,

Welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.

According to the answer given in this earlier discussion thread on a similar topic:

"The horizontal axis is time.

Spaces between the lines are times of no measurement.

Dots indicate a single measurement at a given time,

while vertical lines indicate multiple measurements".
