to take advantage of the new capability. It is difficult to decide where to put the maintenance effort into edm in that it is mostly obsolete. You may, however, do the following in the current version of edm: Suppose you want five ranges. Create a menu-mux object with "Number of Items" set to 5. Each item will include a "Tag". This will serve as a visual indication of the range. It could include words like low,high,etc. or be assigned ranges like 0-1,0-100,etc. Then, for each range, set symbols and values. These will generate values for meter attributes which may include the readback pv itself, the scale precision, min, max, label intervals, majors per label, and minors per major. Next create the meter using the symbols from above in the meter attribute definitions. For example, instead of using 100 for the max scale value, you might use $(scale1Max). The value of scale1Max would come from the symbol/value you chose in the creation of the menu-mux object. When the screen executes, you could change the range interactively by clicking on the menu-mux object or remotely by setting the appropriate value of an associated integer pv (which would need to be referenced in the creation of the menu-mux object).
