How do I make a single plot with one y axis/caption on left and a different yaxis/caption on right?

MS 8.0.1, VS 2005, WXP latest.
 
Current app acquires one channel of data and shows it on a plot. Want to extend app to acquire two channels of data. I know how to do that using DAQ assistant and modifying DAQTask.user.vb. However, couldn't figure out how to make the display show two separate plots with different Y axis scales. To save screen real estate I would like to have a left y scale (default) for one channel and a right y scale for the other. Channels have different units and magnitudes so plotting both with the same axis isn't very useful.
 
How do I do this at design time? I think that I can look into the form designer generated code to figure out how to do the rest.
 
Thanks

No longer an issue. Used designer to create/add 2nd y axis located to the right, then created/added 2nd plot and had it use the 2nd y axis.
