Use the Y-axis property menu to decide how the upper and lower limits of the Y-axis are to be defined – automatic or with fixed, pre-defined limits – as well as to open the Graph Properties form.
In the graph area, right-click a Y-axis to open the Y-Axis property menu. Which and how many items the menu contains depend of the previous selections made.
This menu does not exist for the Embedded Graph Basic, which is operated differently – see separate help page.
Stand-alone Graphs and Operator Graphs must be opened in a graph window. Embedded graphs are permanently displayed as part of a diagram.
The Y-axis of the signal must be displayed in order to be able to right-click on a Y-axis. You can decide if you want to show the Y-axis or not in the Graph Properties form:
Right-click in the graph to get the Graph Property Menu
Select Graph Properties > Signals tab > Advanced sub-tab
Set (or remove) a check mark in the box Show Y-axis for this signal
