HI,  
I am new to the Ignition platform. I was looking for a way to add two or more y-axis scales in the Graph **Perspective module**.  
My X-axis will be real-time. However, in the Y-axis, the scale should be displayed based on tag selection.  
And we need a table that is related to the graph. In the table, the data should be displayed when we insert the cursor into the graph.

Please find the attached Photo for your information.

That image looks like Vision to me. Is it really Perspective?

Hi,  
@jlandwerlen I noticed an image in the vision module, and while exploring similar features in the perspective module, I discovered Power Chat. Unfortunately, I'm struggling to add additional scale-based tag selections from the tag browser 😔.

You can configure multiple axes in the power chart.  
The manual describes each property in detail

> **[Perspective - Power Chart | Ignition User Manual](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/components/perspective-components/perspective-chart-palette/perspective-power-chart#more-menu)**
>
> The Power Chart collects and displays data based on the pens that have been configured on the chart.

You can create the properties or use the UI menu to do it

1. Add you axis using the Settings ⚙ icon on the top right  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/9/b992d02e3c66ac71bc89b2ee4035aed4f558074a.png)

2. Select the Edit Pen option and change the Axis.

When i change the used Axis via the Edit Pen option it doesn’t change and always goes back to the Default Axis. What could be the reason of this?  
I also added 1 configured Axis to the configuration, but I only always see the ‘Default’ axis.
