Hi y'all
is there a way, besides just putting one strip chart on top of another strip chart and have it aligned just right to hide the x axis and be on the same x scale as the others. For example: Schart #1 represents the pressure in the system, Schart #2 current , Schart #3 voltage.
Now I could have all these on one strip chart but while acquiring data it is hard to determine one line from another when you have 16 channels scrolling past on the same strip chart.
What I am looking for is something like the digital graphs where you have multiple views on the same x axis.
Is there a way to do this besides stacking strip charts on top of one another?
Are there any proposed changes coming that would include this?
Thanks

As far as I know there is no possiblity to obtain your goal other than stacking more charts one on top of each other. The digital graph is lot more simple as digital signals can have only 0 or 1 value, so it is possible to plot them on the same graph with some y-offset without losing the real meaning of the signal itself. With analog signals this is considerably more complex, as each of them must reference to an analog scale.
Alternative ways to address your situation are to use the secondary Y-axis to hold some of the plots or to use the legend to permit hiding/showing individual plots to make easy to the user to read the chart.
