Axis Attributes
Lower/Lower/Label	Currently not available.
Type	Select the type of plot to be displayed in Adams PostProcessor when you transfer the strip chart to it for plotting: ■linear - Performs no transformation of data or axis values. This is the default. ■logar (Logarithmic) - Scales the axis values so that each power of 10 is separated by the same distance. For example, the values 1, 10, 100, 1000, and 10,000 are equally spaced. ■db (Decibel) - Displays 20 * log 10 (value) for each value. ■default - Selecting this means no specific axis type is requested and it appears in the default axis type, which is usually linear.
