ng-if condition used with point query

[dgm]

This supplies my serialChart with 8 dataPoints from my plc and works fine...

<div ng-model="theDevice" ng-init="theDevice='unit#1_plc'" ></div>  

 <ma-point-query query="{$and: true, deviceName:theDevice, name:ptName}" limit="8" points="points"></ma-point-query>
 <ma-point-values points="points" values="combined" from="from" to="to" ></ma-point-values>

This does not... but why not?

<div ng-if="true" ng-model="theDevice" ng-init="theDevice='unit#1_plc'" ></div>  

 <ma-point-query query="{$and: true, deviceName:theDevice, name:ptName}" limit="8" points="points"></ma-point-query>
 <ma-point-values points="points" values="combined" from="from" to="to" ></ma-point-values>

I'd wager the ng-if is looking for a variable called true. Check your console for errors.
Why do you want the ngif there in the first place?

ye true is probably returning as undefined.

thanks guys,

here is my reasoning:

I was testing 2 datapoints on 2 different plc. if they were equal, then plc1 would be my source for the seriesChart, if false then plc2. the ng-if was going to help me swap out the devices . I did have a variable that tested the condition and it did evaluate to true or false but when plan didnt work i started to backup and check why.

Use <ma-get-point-value> for both points.
2) in your ng if, use both points with the challenge:

ng-if="pt1.value==pt2.value"

This way you are comparing two variables to see if they are the same/both equal to one another.

For false simply:

ng-if="pt1.value!=pt2.value"

That should you help you with where you want to go!
