Easiest and fastest method is what I'm looking for. If I can use one of those hound dog scanner things to just magically follow the signal to the switches and fixtures without having to disassemble them, that would be the best. As long as it works through the EMT.
Well, good luck with that. One of the benefits of metallic conduit is that is a good shield. In your case that's really a drawback. I still think in the end you'll be tracing conduit runs and proceeding accordingly.
