Multichart with secondary scale

Hello there,

is there a way to plot two graphs in one chart/x-y-graph and NOT have
them scaled to the same y-scale?

I have two currents. The one is from 0..250mA, (it is the Ring current
of the BESSY at Berlin) and the other one varies from 1E-5 to 1E-9. I
want to plot them in one chart/graph. Right now I plan to do this by
having to charts and the one is transparent besides the data dots and
data line... (!)

If anybody has a better solution I'd be happy!

Thank You.

From LV 6.1 Help Manual (search for 'multiple scale'):

Adding Multiple X and Y Scales on Graphs or Charts
All charts and graphs support multiple x and y scales. Use multiple scales on a chart or graph to display multiple plots that do not share a common x or y scale.

Complete the following steps to add a scale to a waveform chart or graph.

Depending on which scale you want to add, right-click the x or y scale of the waveform chart or graph and select Duplicate Scale from the shortcut menu.
To move the new scale to the opposite side of the display, right-click the new scale and select Swap Sides from the shortcut menu.
Associate a plot to the new scale by right-clicking the plot in the Plot Legend and select from the X-Scale or Y-Scale shortcut
items. If the Plot Legend is not visible, right-click the chart or graph and select Visible Items»Plot Legend from the shortcut menu.
To change the range of a scale, use the Operating tool or the Labeling tool to highlight the end value(s) of the new scale and enter a new value.
