If you are trying to fix the y-scales for your plots, do the following:

 

  1. Right-click the y1 scale on your graph at design time and deselect auto-scale.
  2. Double-click the top-most number on the scale and type in 60, do the same for the bottom number and enter 0.
  3. Repeat this procedure for the y2 scale.

At run-time, you will have to access properties of the graph to modify scales.

I think the op is trying to assign a plot to an axis.

 

When you created a duplicate axis, you have to select which axis the plot will use. You can click on the plot legend and then click the x or y (which ever you have a multiple axis for) and select the scale. You can do the same thing from the properties>Plots window.

Sorry about the confusion what I need is to read y1 data and y2 data with their respective resolutions, looking like an overlay as you would in excel

Sorry, that just confuses me even more. Reading data is much different than displaying data. Post code or post a picture of what you want. An 'overlay' in Excel is meaningless to me.

Hi pranft,

 

Are you trying to plot 4 data sets on the same graph with two different y-axis?  If so, check out this KnowledgeBase.  It tells you how to do it and a bit more! This KnowledgeBase might be helpful too.  Good luck!
