Parameter Link
About Parameter Links
You can group parameters of the same type and link them. These groups are called “Parameter
Links.” When one parameter in a parameter link group is changed, all parameters in the parameter link
group will change in the same way.
There are three parameter link types: global links, local links and component links. Global links link
parameters for DMEs within a device group. Local links and component links link parameters that are
included for a single DME.
Groups can be created and parameters added to groups in the user control/user module control
editor and component editor. For information about creating parameter links, see “Creating Parameter
Links” on page 368.
You can check the status of parameter links and edit them in the Parameter Link window.
Parameter Link Window
When you click [Parameter Link] in the [Tools] menu, the “Parameter Link” window is displayed. You
can also display the window by selecting [Open Parameter Link] from the context menu displayed in
the user control/user module editor and component editor.

When a library is recalled, the linked parameters in other components will not change even if parameter linking is enabled.

Recall Safe and Partial Recall settings (page 86) do not apply to linked parameters when a scene is recalled.
NOTE
Because there is a large load on the network, the maximum number of Global Links will be limited to eight.
