I'm looking for a program/add-on to graph 10-20 data channels stored in Excel with time as my horizontal axis. I want to put all the channels on a single graph but they all have different scales (ex. some channels are 0 or 1, others range between 0-100+) and Excel doesn't seem to plot this easily without making some sort of intermediate template into which to plug the data values. I've looked into SigmaPlot, but so far they haven't gotten back to me so I'm not impressed there. Any help is appreciated. TIA

Matlab would absolutely work.

Kick it old school with gnuplot. If you can describe it, gnuplot will turn it into a professional-looking graph.

There is a learning curve, but the software is free.

Mathcad use to be a very easy and simple program that could be pretty powerful.

I use GraphPad Prism. Never tried what you are describing though. I do typically graph on two scales though with one being the left y-axis and the other being the right y-axis...

C Programming language

And yes that's a big to the a-hole that I took for a Mechanical Engineering course at LSU that was supposed to be a OpenGL course. fricker made us write OpenGL first. One of those courses that was a bait and switch. Prior to drop day was all about cool 3D printers and what not. After drop day became Hard arse Math 6000.
