Linking Components

This feature is not available in version 1.0.0.

Concept:

Mechanism to link components to perform certain actions:

• Only some component have the ability to link to other components.
• Most component can be linked, but only some can perform actions.
  
  

Can link to other Components:

• Dial
  Send value between Min. Value and Max. Value (in properties)

• Text Component
  Shows value label from linked components.
  Syntax: $dataN (N = component index).

• Led / Diode
  Send value of current flowing through.

• Scripted
  Can send any value from the script (double or string)
  
  

Can be linked:

• Dialed (Dial, Potentiometer, Variable Resistor, Resistive Sensors):
  Can receive a value (resistance, luminance, etc) or dial position:
  i = 0: set Dial position (0-1000)
  else : set resistance value.

• Text Component
  Can append or set text:
  i = 0: set text.
  else : append text.

• 7 segment BCD
  Can receive a display value or segment on/off:
  i = 0: display value (0-F).
  else : 1 bit for each segment.

• Clock & Wave Gen
  Can receive a frequency value.

• Capacitor
  Can receive a percentage capacitance (0 to 1000 = 0 to 100%).

• Inductor
  Can receive a percentage inductance (0 to 1000 = 0 to 100%).

• Controlled Source
  Can receive a control voltage or current.

• Scripted
  Can receive a double or string value.
