MEDM has a capability to define one instance of the 5 overlapping colors in an ADL file. You could then call that 120 times, using different replaceable macro parameters for each new instance. You can nest this idea further to reduce your load if there is a pattern.

Hey all,

I am setting up an MEDM that has a set of 120 status indicators. I would
like for all of them to show 5 different colors based on 5 different
statuses. Is there a better way to accomplish this than creating 5
overlapping copies of each indicator and having each be visible only
when it is in one specific status?

Thank you,
Charlie
