Add Y Axis

Applied Parameters: None

Summary

This command is used to add a Y-axis to the active wave plot in the current chart.

Access

This command is accessed from the SimData Editor by choosing the Plot » Add Y Axis command from the main menus.

Use

First, ensure that the wave plot to which you wish to add the Y-axis is made active in the Waveform Analysis window. This is achieved by clicking anywhere within the area of the wave plot.

Launch the command - the Y-axis will be added.

Tips

If the Number of Plots Visible option is set to All in the Document Options dialog (Tools » Document Options), the active wave plot is distinguished by a black solid line around its waveform name section. If the Number of Plots Visible option is set to 1, 2, 3, or 4, the active wave plot is distinguished by a black arrow at the left hand side of its display area.
In order to format the axis, you must set the display option for the Number of Plots Visible to anything but All.
