You can use the Data Exchanger component to read or write a parameter.
You must select the parameter and data to set up a Read
or a Write action. You select the data by clicking or swiping
data in the Data Source area or by entering details
in the Swipe Details area. You select the parameters
using the Parameters table or the Parameter
list in the Parameter Read/Write area. You can
also create a new parameter by entering a name in the Parameter
Read/Write area.
The Parameters table shows the following:
all parameters that belong to the Data Exchanger component itself,
the parent component of the Data Exchanger, and
any sibling components that are before or after the Data Exchanger component
in the simulation process flow. When a parameter from a parent or sibling
component is read or written, a parameter with the same name is created
in the Data Exchanger component and the appropriate parameter mappings
are created.
The parameters and mappings are not created until you click OK
or Apply on the Data Exchanger Component
Editor. If you click Cancel, no parameters
are created and all changes since the editor was opened are discarded.
In general, the data and parameter selections are independent and
can be selected in either order. The Read and Write buttons are unavailable
until both a parameter and some data have been selected.
The process for creating a Read or Write
action is different depending on whether the parameters are created before
the Data Exchanger Component Editor is opened
(top-down) or are created by the Data Exchanger Component
Editor (bottom-up).
