How to have more than one vertical axis in graphs...

[Richard Jones]

Can this be done?
I can see that you can stack multiplke plots in chart mode. I am displaying
2d arrays though and dont really want to have to clock it into a chart one
point at a time.
Also if you do this how do you get all the traces on top of eack other. If
you stack the plots you get many small charts within the one display each
seperate with it's own y axis scale. I realise you can drag them so they
over lap but then so do the y axis making them unreadable.
I'm sure I must be missing something here. I can't be the first to want to
plot different y axis data on the same graph?!

Your right, you are not the first. Currently I
do not believe LabVIEW supports different Y axis
scales. I believe that you can move the y-axis
from the left to the right using the control
editor. Conversely back in LV 3.1 I developed a
graph scaling routine that allows me to have as
many y axis as you would like to display. It
uses a bar slider to display each axis. It is
very clumsy and has not been used since. If you
have the picture control toolkit, there are
examples of how to build independant y-axis
graphs but it can be a pain and slow. Hopefully
lv 6.0 will finally address this problem.
