Axis tab

A scale and a label of an individual axis can be edited on the [Axis] tab. Available axes are listed in the list box on the left side. By selecting an axis, axis parameters appear on the right side.

There are eight axis parameters.

  • Specify axis scales: uses parameters specified if checked. If not checked, the parameters suitably adjusted byViewWave. In cases of [Time], [Frequency], [Period] and [TimeLag] axes, the parameters must be specified by users.
  • Scale in logarithm: uses a logarithm axis if checked. It disappears when the logarithm axis is not available, such as the [Time] axis, the [Acceleration] axis, etc.
  • Minimum: specifies the minimum value of the axis. In some cases, it disappears because only the maximum value is necessary. In case of waveforms, the minimum value is always a negative of the maximum value. In case of linear vertical axis of a spectrum, the minimum value is always zero.
  • Maximum: specifies the maximum value of the axis.
  • Major tick interval: sets the interval of major ticks. Ticks and annotating values are drawn. Zero to leave it toViewWave. If the logarithm axis is selected, it cannot be specified.
  • Minor tick interval: sets the interval of minor ticks. Only ticks are drawn. Zero to leave it to ViewWave . If the logarithm axis is selected, it cannot be specified.
  • Label: sets the label of the axis.
  • Unit: sets the unit of the axis that follows Label.

In addition, you can select a legend position and a grid style in the [Axis] tab.
