Quick Question....I'm using global popups w/ parameter files for common operations (manual popups for motor control, eg).
What's the best way to populate a title on the popup to indicate what device it is currently operating on? Easy to do w/ RSView32, SE and Intouch but not finding a clean way with ME.
I see there is a title bar option and you can embed a variable. So, If I embed a memory string, how can I populate it with a value? There doesn't seem to be a way in the parameter file to just assign a value to a placeholder or even a tag for that matter. I have a parameter file for each motor and that would be easiest if possible. My other thought is to create a one line macro for each motor that assigns a title value to a memory string and display that, but that seems hokey. I'm using the GOTO display button object to launch the popup w/ parameter file.
Suggestions?
PS...Another thought I had was to create a memory string variable for each title and imbed that in the display settings title, but that seems hokey and a waste of tags too.
