Enabled

Here you can switch the axis on or off completely. This functionality is also available via the context menu.

Name

Specifies whether the name of the X-axis is shown in the chart.

Show Title

Determines which title is displayed above the chart. This function is only displayed if there is only one axis group, or if the axis groups are not stacked.

Hide: no title is displayed

Custom: the value from the 'Title' setting is displayed

Name: the name of the axis group is selected

X-Axis Title: the title of the X-axis is reused

Y-Axis Title: the title of the Y-axis is reused

First Channel: the name of the first channel is reused

All channels are listed below and a channel can be explicitly selected.

Title

If Show Title is set to 'Custom', this title will be displayed above the chart.

(Time/Y)-Axis

Color (Time/Y)

Color of the axis.

Color Mode (Time /Y)

Defines which color is displayed at the axis.

Custom: the value from the 'Color Mode' setting is displayed

First Channel: the name of the first channel is reused

Below that, all channels are listed in order to select them explicitly.

Inverted (Time /Y)

Inverts the direction of the axis.

Linewidth (Time /Y)

Line width in pixels.

Logarithmic (Y)

Switches between logarithmic and linear scaling of the axes.

Manual Max (Y)

Maximum value for manual scaling.

Manual Min (Y)

Minimum value for manual scaling.

Precision (Time /Y)

Here you can specify the number of significant digits for the axis labeling. Corresponds to the number of digits on the axis.

Show absolute times (t)

After recording, the times on the time axis can also be indicated by absolute times.

None: The relative times are also displayed after recording.

Default: The times are displayed in absolute time on the time axis. Depending on how far you have zoomed in, the times are displayed with or without milliseconds.

Custom: With this setting, a manual time format can be set using the "Times format" setting.

Scale Mode (Y)

Specifies the Scale Mode for the axis. There are three modes to choose from. In case of Manual, the range of the axis can be fixed. AutoGrowOnly automatically increases the area of the axis, if data points are outside the specified range. AutoGrowNShrink further shrinks the range if extreme values in the data are no longer in the displayed time range.

Scientific Notation (Y)

Specifies whether the scientific notation should be used.

Show Title (t/Y)

Determines which title is displayed on the axis

Hide: no title is displayed

Custom: the value from the 'Title (t/Y)' setting is displayed

Name of axisgroup: the name of the axis group is selected

First Channel: the name of the first channel is reused

All channels are listed below and a channel can be explicitly selected.

Show Unit (Y)

Determines whether the unit should also be displayed as an axis label.

Hide: No unit is displayed.

AllChannels: All units configured channels are displayed. If different units are used, the units are separated by a comma.

Times format (t)

If the "Show absolute times" setting is set to "Custom", this setting is visible in order to be able to specify the time format of the axis.

Possible placeholders for the timestamps are as follows:
dd - day
MM - month
yyyy - year
HH - hours in 24-hour format
hh - hours in 12-hour format
mm - minutes
ss - seconds
fff - milliseconds

Title (X/Y)

Axis title.

Visible (X/Y)

Specifies whether the axis is shown or hidden in the chart.

(Time/Y)-Grid

Grid Color (Time/Y)

Color of the grid.

Grid Divisions (Time /Y)

Number of subdivisions.

Grid Linewidth (Time /Y)

Line width of the grid in pixels.

Subgrid Divisions (Time /Y)

Number of areas into which the main grid is subdivided by auxiliary lines.
In the case of logarithmic scaling the auxiliary lines for subdivision are shown only in the set number if the range of values per tick is precisely one decade. Otherwise the displayed auxiliary line shows the decades not displayed in the main grid.

Use Grid (Time /Y)

The X-subdivisions of the axis can be shown or hidden here.

Use SubGrid (Time /Y)

Auxiliary lines for the finer X-subdivision of the main grid can be shown or hidden here. Auxiliary lines have no axis labeling.

To change the settings for several axes at the same time, please refer to the chapter Multiple selection.
