What's the best way to deal with having different units plotted on the same graph?

They are all using Voltage, so I guess I could have a way to switch between voltage and other units. The main readings will be temperature and strain gage readings, which I've then configured using the Measurement Automation Explorer as Virtual Channels. Any ideas/suggestions from people who've

Right click on your existing Y-scale and select duplicate scale. This will give you another Y-scale to plot your data against. You can then use the plot legend to right click and associate your data with the new scale on a plot by plot basis. You can add as many legends as you need. You can

One way I handled that is to normalize my several Y axis data, and plot them in % (percent) (scale 0 to 100) so If one column data is voltage, another is current, temperature, etc, I divide each column by its predetermined or assumed maximum, and this will be the hundred percent point. Then I use

Do you divide the data arrays by the maximum, or is this configured in the graph properties? I'm confused about whether I'd be configuring the graph or the data. Do you have a basic example on hand by chance? Thanks.
