Dialog-GraphSettings-Title

Graph Title

Enter a Graph Title. Here the graph title is Graph. This will show at the top of the Graph plot area.

Y–axis Input

Select the Y-axis Input you want to apply the Graph-Settings.

Y 1 - 4 : Data-Type

•Y# : the input-connector, from 1 to 4
•Data-Type : one of three Data-Channels  - see Y-axis Options

Set all : to apply the same settings to all plots in the graph.

Top Tip: Use Set all if wires connected to a Graph FB are all Pressure-Angle from different Cam-Data FBs. If the Minimum and Maximum limits are set to be equal for all cams, it is much easier to analyse the cam-data as you edit the model.
