waveform chart with 2 Y axis

[Wolfson]

Hi, I have labview 8.5 and I would like to know if is possible to have one waveform chart with two Y axis, I have two signal from a force load cell and two signal from a LVDT, so I would like to graph in real time what is happening in the process having in one axis the forces and in the other axis distance, how can I do it?

The problem is the forces are lower than the distance, so if I graph all in one is going to be a big mess or can I just play with each scale of each plot and put everything in one Y axis?

Hi,

i think u should try MIXED SIGNAL GRAPH ... available on control palate-->Modern-->Graph-->Mixed Signal Graph..

1) Right click on the Y-axis and choose "duplicate scale". This will give you another Y-Axis.

2) Optionally right-click the new Y-axis and select "Swap sides" to move the new Y-axis to the other side of the graph.

3) If not already visable right-click chart and choose Visalbe >>> Plot legend

4) Right click on a plot and choose the Y-axis it should be associated with.

I hope that helps,

Ben
