# Charts

MotiveWave™ has perhaps some of the most advanced charting capabilities of any charting application available. In this section we will be exploring some of the basics of working with charts in MotiveWave™.

You can work with charts within the Console window or you can open separate chart windows to work with charts independently. The simplest way to open a chart window is to press the **Open Chart Window** button from the top right section of a chart panel.

Alternatively, choose *File > New > Chart Window* from the top menu bar:

This action will open a chart window similar to the one in the screen shot below. Regardless of whether you choose to work with charts in the console or separate chart windows, the features described in this section are the same.
