Can I have different vertical scales for multiple plots on one Waveform Chart?

[Dedalus7]

I'd like to plot two different functions, simultaneously, on a single Waveform Chart.  That part is easy.  However, the scales of these two plots are drastically different.  Can I have two plots: one that is associated with a vertical scale on the left side of the Chart, and one that is associated with a different vertical scale on the right side of the Chart?  If so, how do I do this?

Many thanks!

Hi Andrew,

yes it´s possible. Right click on your available axis and select "copy axis". Now you can manually or automatically (using property nodes) assign every plot to an axis.

Thanks, Mike.

Could you tell me where under Property Nodes I can find each of the two y axes and how I assign a plot to each?  I've looked and it's not obvious to me.  🙂

Thanks again!

Hi Andrew,

use the activePlot function and then Plot.YAxisIndex.

You use the Active Plot followed by the Plot Y Scale Index.  Remember that the property nodes execute from top to bottom so whichever plot is chosen in the Active Plot property will be assigned to the very next Plot Y Scale Index.  Of course, it's all zero based arrays too so these's a plot zero and a Scale Index zero.

You can also assign the scales to particular plots by right-clicking the plot, opening properties, and then selecting which one is assigned where in the 'plots' tab.

Mike beat me to it!
