Multiple Scales on Waveform Chart

[gesingle]

I am trying to set up a two channel Waveform Chart, in strip chart mode, with different scales for each channel. I want the channels to appear overlayed, full height, rather than stacked. I can resize the two plots until they have approximately the same top and height, but it is difficult to size them exactly by dragging. Is there a way to numerically specify an exact top and height? I have also attempted to set programatically using Y Scale-Top and Plot Area - Height properties without much success.

Since LabVIEW 6, you've been able to use different scales on the the same graph or chart. Right click on the Y scale and select "Duplicate Scale". You can leave it on the left side or select the one you want and choose "Swap Sides". to assign a channel to a scale, select a plot in the Plot Legend, right click and go down to Y Scale. You'll see both of your scales and just select the one you want for that plot.

I tried this method and it did give scales which I could independently adjust using min and max at run time. However, the plotted traces both track only one of the scales. See the attached example. The sliders on the left represent the amplitude and offset of what should appear on the chart.

Unless I'm misunderstanding your problem, you can fix things by assigning the traces to different vertical scales. You've got them both assinged to vertical scale zero.

That fixed it. Thanks for the help.
