It seems to be a bit of a quirk that the "error" values you see appearing are distance the guidestar has moved since tracking began, not adjustments the software is making as it tracks. Its fine to be able to see this on the graph, but you don't get any graphical indication of a correction. You have to load up the tracking log (text file). You can turn that on and set where it is saved from the Options dialogue on the Guiding Tab.
More on it here - doesn't seem to be a priority to include graphical indication at this point....

You usually have a pretty good idea if the software has made an agressive correction from the graph when you see it jump back towards zero, but of course that's not too ideal from a tracking/photography point of view.
