How to get a second y axis in xy graph

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello,

 

I know there were some questions around this topic. But can anyone give a step-by-step description of how to get a second y-axis visible, please? I have been spending some hours trying to find that out. LabView online says: "... drag the signal name into the data view", others say "rightclick on y-axis and choose 'duplicate' " and I just don't find any of these options. Please help.

 

Thank you in advance.

I don't know what the "drag the signal name into the data view" is referring to, but getting a second scale is pretty simple:

  1. Place an XY graph on the front panel.
  2. Move the cursor to the existing Y-scale.
  3. Right-click and select "Duplicate scale". 
That's it. If you want to move it to the other side, place the cursor on this second scale, right-click and select "Swap Sides".

Yes, it's pretty simple once you've found out that the right-click is showing the option 'duplicate axis' when the cursor changes to text-editor mode. Believe me, I have been clicking for a while!Collegues were already wondering...

 

Thank you, guys.
