Comparing Parameters for Multiple Components

You can view parameters and file parameters for multiple components simultaneously using the Design Gateway’s Parameters and Files tabs and the Runtime Gateway’s Parameters tab. This is useful for comparing parameter values and other information.

  1. From the gateway, select a model.

  2. Select the component that contains the parameters that you want to view.

  3. Click the Parameters or Files tabs, and click the Detach button.

    Tip: You can also click .

    If you are working with parameters, the Parameters dialog box appears. If you are working with file parameters, the Files dialog box appears.

    The dialog boxes contain an exact copy of the information displayed on the Parameters or Files tabs. Changes to the information using the dialog boxes are displayed automatically on their respective tab. If you select a different component from the model explorer on the left side of the gateway, the tabs and the dialog boxes are changed to show the parameter information for this new component.

  4. Click Lock in the lower-left corner of the dialog box.

    Selecting Lock freezes the component parameter information that appears in the dialog box. You can still edit the parameter information. However, if you click a different component in the model explorer, the information in the dialog box does not change.

  5. You can continue opening dialog boxes to simultaneously view parameters or file parameters for multiple components. Click Lock on each dialog box.

  6. Click Done to save your changes and to close the dialog boxes.
