MEDM supports variable-length waveform plots -- set the "Count Num or Channel" to the PV holding the number of points. I usually work around the no-monitors-on-NORD problem by forward linking my waveform records to a longin record that gets its value from the waveform NORD field -- I then set the MEDM "Count Num or Channel" to that longin record -- which does post monitors on changes. This latter problem will be moot on arrival of 3.15, of course.
