Multiple Set on Table parameters for DVE’s

Dear Community,

Question related to the Multiple Set feature.

The use case is concerning connectors that export DVE Elements for each module depending on the type.  In this case the exported DVE element includes some input and output tables.  The display key of the table is module specific. For example the inputs for Module 1 (DVE M1) have a display key like below:

  • Ch1.1 - <Input 1 description>
  • Ch1.2 - <Input 1 description>
  • ...

The inputs for Module 2 (DVE M2) have a display key:

  • Ch2.1 - <Input 1 description>
  • Ch2.2 - <Input 1 description>
  • ...

The same for modules 3 to 6.  All modules are of the same type and share the same exported protocol.

I noticed that when trying a multiple set for a parameter in this table, the table index dropdown box contains only entries for a specific module or DVE (in this case Module 4).  See example below.

I don't get any entries for the other modules (Like Ch1.1, Ch1.2, ...) although they are all the same.

I would expect to see all table indices for all DVE's of the same type in the dropdown (starting from Ch1.1 to Ch6.x).  Could this be a bug or is a multiple set not supported for table parameters in DVE elements?

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

Hi,

This is not specifically related to DVE elements, but also applies to regular elements.
When opening the dropdown list of "Table Index" then it is populated with the indices of the first selected element, or the first one that it finds when there are no elements selected.

In other words, the dropdown list will only contain indices of one element.
In case you want to see indices of another element then you'll first have to close the "Multiple Set" window and reopen it again. Then first select one element (of which you want the table indices), and then select the parameter and open the Table Index dropdown.

Regards,

Thanks for clarifying that! I just want to clarify further that "selecting the element" means "clicking and enabling the check box" for the element. Just selecting the row is not enough. Just in case there would be other dummies like me 🙂
