multiple axis in chart or graph

[Andreas Franz]

Hi there,

is there a possibility to have multiple Y-axes in LV5.1 ?
There is something about G in the helpfile with up to 8 axes, but it doesn´t
fit to anything i have found in the VI´s.

thanks for all help

Nope. Annoying isn't it!!
You can bodge a work round using slider controls and attribute nodes but
it's hardly what you'd expect to have to do in a software program of this
standard.
Matlab leaves LabVIEW way behind in this area.

Sometimes using charts with the 'stack plots' option set will be
satisfactory, since then each plot will have their own y axis. Another
option which I have used is to create a chart or a graph with transparent
background and place this on top of a regular one.

Hope this helps!

Not yet. There are workarounds that involve using another
graph or a slide. There are also some VIs on the NIWeek
98 CD and perhaps the web site that have two scales, but
the attributes don't allow for programmatic updates of it.

I gave up on the kludges in Labview.. and just call upon the SPSS package of
Sigma Plot.
That enables you to plot on an unlimited number of X and Y axis, all with
different scales.

Functionality wise, I use the various export to Excel vi's.. as SigmaPlot
fully handles Excel/Office.
