Hi,

If you’re talking about N*M*Z waveforms, it can depend on how big N, M and Z are. If there’s not too many then you can put multiple waveforms on one screen (depending on waveform size and update rate). Or, you could have a common screen having a single waveform on it, and you can open that via buttons which pass macros in to define the PV name.

If you really need a menu to select N, then M, then Z, then one option would be to construct the PV name on the IOC database side, then set an INP link in a subarray (which can point to any of the waveforms defined by N, M and Z). Then the screen only has to contain a single high level PV for the subarray record. That would avoid CS-Studio scripts, although it would be possible in a client script I think that would be the least preferable solution long term (for example, you may have to update the script periodically, or re-write it for new clients).

Cheers,

Matt
