HyperTrend Control: using multiple Y axes programatically

[cs42]

Does anyone know how to add an additional Y axis to a hypertrend control programmatically and how to add a trace to a specific Y axis? I didn't find any property or method to accomplish this.

BTW: I'm using LV 7.0.

Thanks,
Carsten

Hi Carsten,

there is no possibility to add additional Y- Axis to Hypertrend programatically.

Could this feature be available in LV 7.1? That would be nice, really!

Thanks,

hi there.

just picking up this thread from may last year. now dsc 7.1 is available...is it possible that this feature is now included?
so, how could i programmatically change the y-axis behaviour of my hypertrend?

hoping for someone's experience with this problem

thanks a lot

Hi Gibbi,
Unfortunately, there still isn't a way to programmatically modify the y-axis behavior programmatically. You can do so manually by right-clicking on the hypertrend object and selecting "NI Hypertrend >> Properties". I'm not sure what you'd like to do, but you can add traces and tags programmatically. The "Trend Viewing Options.vi" shows how this can be done. If you explore the LabVIEW example directory, you can find another useful VI that shows all of the properties and methods that you can use with hypertrends:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\examples\lvdsc\_common\Hypertrend & AlertBrowser.llb\HT Properties and Methods.vi

If you would like to see the ability to modify the hypertrend axes programmatically added to LabVIEW, then you can make a product suggestion on our website. Go to NI.com, can click on "Contact NI" then "Feedback".

Thanks for contacting NI,

Hi Marcus,

thanks for your answer. So, that's really sad that it is not possible to change the y-axis behaviour. I am adding traces programmatically to my hypertrend - but when there are many traces in there with different scales it is important to get them in different views.
so...product suggestion seems to be a good idea.

thanks a lot.
