Question
Hello, i have a little problem i want to make multiple plots on one plot so i saw some videos and try it works but the problem is in the video he used a fonction that he created. My problem is i wrote a code where i added a path so that when i want to plot my values the path will be open automatically now i want to plot all this values in the same plot so that i can see all the graphic in on plot and an don't know how to fo it. Thank for the reply. %% Temperatur Verlauf der Abkühlkurve %%% clear %% open the file with the data for i=1:5 cd 'C:\Users\rodri\Desktop\Bias\Tests\21_03_10_400_1000_1,5'; % command open the path saved in the file Tests [file,path] = uigetfile('*.txt'); % find the file with the txt type xlsfile = strcat(file,'.xlsx'); % convert the txt file to excel file excel_path_save = 'C:\Users\rodri\Desktop\Bias\Excel\'; % command save the excel file in the Excel's file xlsfile = strcat (excel_path_save, xlsfile ); % concatenates both paths together end %% settings %%% startpower = 0.005000; % standard power in the labview programm pyro_min = 500; % minimum value of the Quotienten pyrometer change to pyrometer typ pyro_max =2200; % maximum value I_min = 0; % minimum output current value I_max = 20; % maximum current value %% read data %%% table = readtable(file); % read the table time = table2array(table(:,1)); % table of time power = table2array(table(:, 2)); % table of power temp = table2array(table(:, 3)); % table of temperature %% Delete values prior to CNC-trigger %%% startindex = find(power==startpower); time(1:startindex-1) = []; temp(1:startindex-1) = []; %% current to temperature %%% temp= temp*(pyro_max-pyro_min)/(I_max-I_min)*1000+pyro_min; % calculate and convert the value of the- % current to the temperature %% write Excel file %%% header = {'Time [ms]','Temperature [°C]'}; output = [header; num2cell([time,temp])]; xlswrite(xlsfile,output) %% Plot %%% for i=1:5 t_max = max(temp); plot(time,temp,'LineWidth',2.0); text (max(time)/2,2000,strcat('T_{max} =',{' '},string(t_max),'°C'),'FontSize',18,'FontName','Arial'); xlabel('Zeit'); ylabel('Temperatur'); title('Temperaturverlauf der Abkühlkurve'); legend('t_max') ax.XColor = [0 0 0]; ax.YColor = [0 0 0]; %xlim([0 roundn(max(time)+501,3)]); xlim([0 20000]); ylim([0 2500]); set(gca,'FontSize',18,'FontName','Arial','XColor','k','YColor','k','ytick',[0 500,1000,1500,2000,2500],'yticklabel',{0 500,1000,1500,'°C',2500},'xtick',[0 2000,4000,6000,8000,10000,12000,14000,16000,18000,20000],'xticklabel',{0 2000,4000,6000,8000,10000,12000,14000,16000,'ms',20000}); hold on plot(time,temp,'LineWidth',2.0); hold on plot(time,temp,'LineWidth',2.0); hold on plot(time,temp,'LineWidth',2.0); hold on plot(time,temp,'LineWidth',2.0); hold on plot(time,temp,'LineWidth',2.0); pause (2) end that is the code i wrote i added the files that i want to plot

The issue is that you are opening your files in the first loop, one after another, but only the last opened file will be processed in your second loop... and five times in a row ????
I would suggest rearranging your code as follows (I inserted a legend that displays the filename of the data instead of just 'tmax'):
%% Temperatur Verlauf der Abkühlkurve %%%
clear
%% settings %%%
startpower = 0.005000; % standard power in the labview programm
pyro_min = 500; % minimum value of the Quotienten pyrometer change to pyrometer typ
pyro_max =2200; % maximum value
I_min = 0; % minimum output current value
I_max = 20; % maximum current value
cd 'C:\Users\rodri\Desktop\Bias\Tests\21_03_10_400_1000_1,5'; % command open the path saved in the file Tests
excel_path_save = 'C:\Users\rodri\Desktop\Bias\Excel\'; % command save the excel file in the Excel's file
%% prepare figure for plotting %%
axes('XLim',[0 20000], 'YLim',[0 2500],...
'FontSize',18, 'FontName','Arial', 'XColor','k', 'YColor','k',...
'YTick',[0 500,1000,1500,2000,2500], 'YTickLabel',{0 500,1000,1500,'°C',2500},...
'XTick',[0 2000,4000,6000,8000,10000,12000,14000,16000,18000,20000],...
'XTickLabel',{0 2000,4000,6000,8000,10000,12000,14000,16000,'ms',20000});
xlabel('Zeit');
ylabel('Temperatur');
title('Temperaturverlauf der Abkühlkurve');
lgd = legend;
hold on;
for i=1:5
%% open the file with the data
[file,path] = uigetfile('*.txt'); % find the file with the txt type
xlsfile = strcat(file,'.xlsx'); % convert the txt file to excel file
xlsfile = strcat (excel_path_save, xlsfile ); % concatenates both paths together
%% read data %%%
table = readtable(file); % read the table
time = table2array(table(:,1)); % table of time
power = table2array(table(:, 2)); % table of power
temp = table2array(table(:, 3)); % table of temperature
%% Delete values prior to CNC-trigger %%%
startindex = find(power==startpower);
time(1:startindex-1) = [];
temp(1:startindex-1) = [];
%% current to temperature %%%
temp= temp*(pyro_max-pyro_min)/(I_max-I_min)*1000+pyro_min; % calculate and convert the value of the-
% current to the temperature
%% write Excel file %%%
header = {'Time [ms]','Temperature [°C]'};
output = [header; num2cell([time,temp])];
xlswrite(xlsfile,output)
%% Plot %%%
t_max = max(temp);
plot(time,temp,'LineWidth',2.0);
text (max(time)/2,2000,strcat('T_{max} =',{' '},string(t_max),'°C'),'FontSize',18,'FontName','Arial');
%legend('t_max')
lgd.String{i} = file;
%xlim([0 roundn(max(time)+501,3)]);
end
hold off;
