multi source tm

[Derginer]

Hello, I am searching for an elegant method for implementing a
display setup with multiple tm streams, with identical parameters/
displays. So, as an example, say there is data called PARAMETER from
both tm sources. We have a front end set up to assign and append
stream number to individualize the data, so the source parameters for
iads are now S1PARAMTER, S2PARAMTER, etc...

To avoid having to build and maintain multiple identical displays, is
there a syntax or other method that would allow me to use switch or
selector that lets me switch between data sources. So maybe a display
is driven by PARAMETER, and at the config level I create a derived
called PARAMETER. Is there a way to use an output from the switch to
append a prefix in the source derivation.

I know I could go through a write complex if statements for each
parameter, or go into the actual displays and have the parameter be a
function of the switch value, or even have separate analysis windows
for each stream. Based on volume and amount updates we would be
making, this wouldn't be ideal. Was hoping for just a simple syntax
for the config file

Like STM = getvalue("selector","value") so this is like 1,2,3 or 4
then
PARAMTER = S + STM + PARAMTER
so that it would read the value of STM as a string and the actual
source would be S1PARAMTER or S2PARAMETER and so on depending on what
the value of the selector is.

Maybe someone has another method. Understand some of the brute force
methods, like I said looking for something a little more elegant and
easy to maintain given the amount we update displays and frequency
that we switch between tm streams sources.

Hi Matt,

Sure, no problem. Just use the "choose" function:

SPARAMETER = Choose( STM, S1PARAMTER, S2PARAMTER, S3PARAMTER )

And as you mentioned

STM = getvalue("selector","value")

Hope this helps,
Jim
