fig.patch.set_facecolor('0.8')

ax1 = plt.subplot2grid((1,1),(0,0))

ax1.plot(t,v,linestyle='-', linewidth=1, color='green',label="Voltage")

plt.grid(linestyle='--', color='grey',linewidth=0.5)

plt.xlabel("Time")

plt.ylabel("Voltage")

plt.legend()

axes = plt.gca()

axes.set_facecolor('w')

axes.set_ylim([0.6,1.2])

axes.set_xlim([0,10])

plt.savefig(r"""figure.pdf""",dpi=fig.dpi,facecolor='0.8')

plt.show()

(Try to post the error messages too. It helps in debugging)

The offending command "chnfobj.getdata()" change it to "chnfobj.get_data()"

I also commented:

#axes.set_ylim([0.6,1.2])

since I do not know if chan 6 is or not a voltage channel. Now I got a plot.

To know the channel type, print the array chanid (giving in dictionary format) first then in a second pass, plot your selected channels accordingly to their type (set the y-axis range as needed).

Thankyou! I just commented axes.set_ylim([0.6,1.2]) and it worked!!!
