In a chart, several base axes can be configured. This serves to assign an own axis to each of the items in the chart. For example, a marker can have another axis than the bar values.

Miscellaneous

In the section Miscellaneous, you modify the general settings, as for example the name for unique identification or position and visibility of the axis. Label is a description in square brackets at the end of the axis, e.g. [m/s].

Position range

Here, you define the minimum and maximum value of the axis, the possible range varies from -1000000 to 1000000.

Ticks

A position on the base axis is defined with a tick mark which can be assigned to a signal curve. The value of the signal will be displayed at this position as bar, curve, line or dot. It is possible to assign a signal to each tick mark. The assignment of the signals is made in the corresponding curve item which uses this base axis.

In the list below, the tick marks in the display will be defined. In the column Position, you indicate the desired position of a tick mark within the given range; and in the column Label the designation which has to be displayed. If a line is filled, a new line appears automatically.

The buttons on the right facilitate the editing of the list:

	Shifts the selected lines to upward or downward
	Sorts the list in ascending order
	Deletes the selected lines
	Copies the content of the list in the clipboard and can be inserted in e.g. MS Excel
	Inserts a list separated by tabs in the selected line of the list
	Opens the tick mark generator

With the <Ctrl> key pressed, several single lines can be selected. With the <Shift> key pressed, a group of consecutive lines can be selected.

By means of the tick mark generator, a list with tick marks at equal distances can be quickly created.

In the section Amount and range, you enter the number of the desired tick marks. The position range serves as a display of the maximum range of the previous dialog. The limits of the generation range min. and max. comply with the range the user wants to adjust, change or add.

In the section Labels, you can indicate the description of the tick marks. By default, the position will be used as designation. With the option Base name it is possible to define a name which is numbered in ascending order. The initial numbers are defined with Start value. In the example above, the base name is “pos”, beginning with the value “0”. It is also possible to enter individual designations. You also can determine how many decimals are displayed (up to 8).

Click on <OK> to create the list in the generator, which you can further edit if necessary. Newly created values are added to the current list via the option Add to Current List. Otherwise, the existing list will be overwritten. By clicking on <OK> a list is created in the generator which can be edited if required.
