To set up a chart's axes and cursors

This procedure applies to XY, Time, and Event charts.

  1. If you have not already done so, insert a chart by selecting it from the Insert menu, or double-click an existing chart to access the chart's configuration panel.

  2. Select the Chart tab.

  3. Configure axes:

    • To show one x axis per data source, select the Show Multiple X Axes check box.

    • To show one y axis per data source, select the Show Multiple Y Axes check box.

    • To show each data source in its own plotting area and y axis, select the Stack Y-Axes check box.

  4. Configure time cursors:

    • To show cursors on the chart, select the Show Cursors check box. Enter the number of cursors in the Number of Cursors box.

    • To show Tool Tips, select the Show Tool Tips check box.

    TIP: During run-time, you can move the time cursor along the chart and the Tool Tips will show the plotted values as it moves through them. The values also change in the legend as you move the time cursor. Therefore, you must have either Tool Tips or the legend showing to see the values as you move the time cursor.
