I am trying to make an HOA for motors for my company. I have made a template that when it is clicked automatically fills a popup window with all the correct information (Motor Number, Amps, etc). I have been unable to find a way to use the same UDT parameters to dynamically change the Easy Chart pens. Was wondering if I’m missing an easy way to do this. Thanks

Ben

The pen configuration is really just a dataset property. You can use Cell Update Bindings to change the configuration.

I think I would start with some custom properties that have indirect tag bindings. The Cell Update Bindings would then reference these custom properties.

Or add one or more dataset properties to the popup’s root container, bind the EasyChart’s pens/axes/subplots to them, and include these parameter values (datasets) in the script that opens the popup.
