Right-click a graph or chart on the front panel and select X Scale»Formatting or Y Scale»Formatting from the shortcut menu to display the Scale Formatting dialog box.
Use this dialog box to view or modify the formatting for scales and grids on all LabVIEW graphs and charts, except 3D graphs.
This dialog box includes the following components:
Select ScaleSelect the name of the scale you want to format from the pull-down menu. Select Time to format the X scale and Amplitude to format the Y scale.
Scale StyleSets a style for the marks on your scale.
Mapping ModeClick Linear (default) or Log to change the Mapping Mode applied to data as it is charted. Charts support only the Linear mode for the X scale.
FormatChoose a numeric format from the Format pull-down menu. For the X, or Time, scale, you can select Decimal, Hexadecimal, Octal, Binary, or Time & Date. For the Y, or Amplitude, scale, you can select only Decimal or Time & Date.
Grid OptionsClick the left box to select a grid style. Click the middle box to select a grid color for the major divisions of the scale. Click the right box to select a grid color for the subdivisions of the scale. If you choose Transparent, the grid is hidden.
Scaling FactorsUse these values to specify the value of a scale marker and to display the marker in a convenient manner. For example, if you want the X scale to display in milliseconds starting at a reference time, set Xo to the reference time and dX to 0.001. This tells the X scale to begin at the reference time and to display data in millisecond increments.
Digits of PrecisionSpecifies the number of digits after the decimal point.
NotationSpecifies the units in which data are displayed. You can select Floating Point Notation (default), Scientific Notation, Engineering Notation, SI Notation, or Relative Time (seconds).
