Hi Everyone,

Dakota reach out to me on Teams with an EDM question, and I haven’t had time to look at it yet.  Does someone have an hour or so to help him with this?

I am defining macros for a plot. To get to the plot, you have to push a clickable button on an EDM screen I've been working on. The macros for the EDM screen are defined the same way as the macros for the plot. My problem is that I have a plot specifically for the South Linac and a plot specifically for the North Linac. What Id like to do is have the North Linac plot show up on the EDM screen ONLY if the macros used to load the EDM screen begin with a 1. Alternatively, Id like to have the South Linac plot show up on the EDM screen ONLY if the macros used to load the EDM screen begin with a 2.
what I don't want to do, is have to make a separate macro in order to differentiate between North and South linac. Id much rather have some kind of process which looks at the already established EDM screen macros, determines if the macros begin with a 1 or a 2, and then populates a North linac clickable button if there is a 1 OR displays a South linac clickable button if there is a 2.

Do you know how I could do that?


Thank you!

Gary
