I've stared the process of porting all of my macros over to Lua.  I'm familiar with the language, but not the mach4 API.  What I'm trying to do is create a macro that pulls data from DRO's on the screen.  I added the DRO's but so far have not been able access them.  I used the examples in the scripting manual with no success.

If I had a DRO named "test1", how would I read that into a local variable?

Thanks

use the screen calls,  local myDro = scr.GetProperty("test1", "Value") see tool box for the screen calls

I knew it had to be something simple.   Thanks.
