There are several System Monitor options you can set. By changing the interval, you can set how often (in seconds) the system reports on the resources you selected. You can also turn on or off the vertical and horizontal grid lines.

Select Actions Options and set the desired options:

Interval

Vertical Grid

Horizontal Grid
