Hello,

These examples may inspire you:
https://github.com/ControlSystemStudio/phoebus/blob/master/app/display/model/src/main/resources/examples/embedded/update_display.py

And I have attached two bob files that will help you do what you are looking for.

To summarise:

I use a script that retrieves the value of a local PV and puts it in the macro property of an "embedded display" widget, and this widget calls an "action button" widget that has the macro defined in its file property.

Objet : Use PV value as a macro definition when opening a display

 

I'd like to create an action button that automatically opens a display with a macro defined based on the value of a PV – how does one do that?    Using $(pv_value) in the includes things like data type in addition to the actual PV value.  Ideas?

thanks
