multiple actions on display button

jan 1 week ago in IQANdesign updated 4 days ago 4

Is there any way a Custom Button/Symbol Button is able to control 2 channels, like when property 'Action'  is set as -Measure group-, it also can act as an -VDIN- ?

In my case I'd like to show the Measure group, and at same runtime enable a channel (Memory Utilization) 

so it will be readable in Measure Group)

Maybe a future idea ?

If you have a button control connected to a VDIN, that could trigger multiple actions from the application. 

But not all actions can be triggered from the application logic. Entering a menu system measure group is such a case. 

A possible solution may be to put the channels you want to measure on a display page. You could use a channel as showing condition on that page.

Thank you for your comment, I already use your possible solution, but for special access we use the menu system measure group, so it will show all items in related measure group, and its less time consuming to make. Look forward to it until the idea becomes true

I guess there is a System Information channel where you can have Value property set as "Menu system open", then have it enable a function group.

Marcus, thank you for your tip, partly works properly, nicer would be that -enable status- only takes place at a certain (sub) measurement / menu group, and not the menu as a whole
