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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
