Hello All,

 

I was curious what the best way to go about populating our GUIs in CS Studio when we are dealing with multiple PVs that share a common attributes.  Such as

 

Device1:Subdevice1:Signal1

Device1:Subdevice1:Signal2

 

Device1:Subdevice2:Signal1

Device1:Subdevice2:Signal2

 

And so forth for N devices M Subdevices Z Signals

 

I was thinking to use macros that pull from drop down menus which would then populate the correct PVs for say specific waveforms.

 

Dropdown menu to select Device #, Dropdown menu to select subdevice # and then populate the PV waveforms for the correct subset I selected.

 

I only just started to use CS Studio and I think this seems possible but wasn’t completely sure.  I also saw that I could write some python scripting and have it run in CS Studio to parse out and place the correct PVs depending on drop down selections but wanted to check in first and see how people have been using it.

 

Thanks
