Fixing one axis is not necessarily what I think is best, but it worked OK.
Since my data often looks like what is shown in the example, the curves may go in every which direction. When the secondary axis scale was staying fixed, I could select the data I wanted to zoom in on on the primary axis and other reference data on the secondary axis. Then, when I zoomed to see fine detail, I could easily reference the secondary axis to correlate the details as needed.
Of course control over each axis would be preferred.

Another really small thing. When the values plotted on one of the y-axis selections are ALL exactly zero (or even exactly the same, I think), they plot along the bottom boarder rather than in the center.

Thanks for the example. I have a better idea of what's going on. Still, I need something to test against. Would you mind posting 2 other things: your csv file and the report file (C:\ProgramData\DBPlot\Reports.xml)?
Your last comment "Another really small thing. When the values plotted on one of the y-axis selections are ALL exactly zero (or even exactly the same, I think), they plot along the bottom boarder rather than in the center." Could you elaborate more on it? I'm not quite understand it.

I am noticing that when the Y-axis scale is very small (~10e-5) the cursor only moves vertically in fairly large steps. Is this expected? Or better, is there a way to modify this behavior (i.e. the vertical step size of the cursor)?

Thanks for your feedback. I believe changing the step size can be done. But I'm not sure it's a high priority thing to do. I'll have more time to work on this project after March 10. In the mean time, I uploaded a temp version (2.4.7) that you can fix the second Y axis when zooming.
Thanks,

Thanks so much for the body of work. Everything has been most helpful.
I notice that you are doing this totally on your own. Because I am finding this tool so useful, I wish to offer to help ... although my strength is in C (or C++) and it appears that the project is C#.

I don't have that exact data file any longer, but I updated the example and have attached the data and the report.xml file for you.
I added an example of the all exactly zero to the word doc it uses the same datafile.
Les,
Sorry for the delay. I'm out of town in the last 3 weeks so a bit late to respond to your comments.
I'll look at the data and work on it asap.
Thanks for your contributions to the tool.

Les,
Thanks for the offer. I have created another topic under the discussion section to get help for other people. Please go there to find the details.
Thanks,
