Can display 2 y axis on xy graph?

[Ellen_Ward]

Hi,

To start, please forgive me, I'm not sure of the plural for axis.

Now for my main problem:
I wish to display data on the same graph which, for ease of inspection, requires 2 seperate y axis(es), which I can achieve in excel and other such spreadsheet programs, however I wish to display my data in LabVIEW, and I'm unable to find a solution to this. Can anyone point me in the correct direction for this?

Many thanks

Ellen

In the XY graph just rightclick the y axis, now select "Duplicate Scale".
Now you'll have two y axis. If you want you can put one of them on the right of the image by rightclicking it and selecting "Swap Sides"

good luck

Yes you can and it's not that hard to do. All you have to do is right click on the Y scale and select duplicate scale then you can right click on the new y-scale and select swap sides.


Hope this helps.

Thank you for your help,

however now for my next question:
can I programmatically assign one set of data to a specific y axis? And if so, how?

Many thanks, sorry for not asking this in the first question.

You can do this programmatically with property nodes, but if you already know which plot you want on which axis you can also just expand the plot legend and right click on the plot you want to change select Y-scale and then change it to the plot you want on the axis you can also right click on the graph and do it through the properties tab
