Dual scales- How do I designate which (Min Max)attribute node goes to which "Y" scale?

Labview 6.i front panel with a chart, multiple plots, several transducers, thermocouples, Vdc, power monitors.
I need a dual "Y" scale for a new application. I had no problem making the duplicate scale and designation which plot goes to what scale, however, when zooming in on a section of the plot and then resetting the chart with the minimum and maximum scaling attributes, it only resets the "0" scale ( -30 to 500) not the "psig" scale (-300 to 5000). How do I designate which (Min Max)attribute node goes to which "Y" scale?
I will be upgrading to 7.1.1 this week, is a new tool available to do this? Thanks

Hi Scott

There is a property called "Active Y scale" to select the scale you want set min,max, etc.

Cheers

thanks for the reply, is the node expandable? Should I change the name of the y plots to a specific name or number? I am upgrading this week so 7.0 and 7.1.1 tools are new to me, i still have to conver some of my old panel and sub vi to new. If the scale factor for minimum and maximum for the specific Y scale is designated at start up, would the default values be over written? thanks scottyd

Hi

Download example about scales.
:ni example

See attached doc. Once you select an y active scale, all Y scale modifications affect that scale.

It works like select active cursor.
