The linking procedure described in the preceding steps can also be performed in
reverse order. You can select a module’s input first and then link it to another
module’s output register.
Editing Existing FrameworksIf you are comfortable with the ACCESS software and the meter’s configuration,
you can make changes to the existing frameworks to customize operation. Any
edits you make to the existing frameworks alter the device’s operation — be sure
you understand what effect your changes will have before proceeding.
Checking an Output Register’s “Owner”
Using Designer, right-click a module’s output register to view its linkages, referred
to as “owners”. A dialog box appears showing all of the inputs that are linked to
that output register. With this information you can determine what changes will
result to the framework by deleting the links to the parameter. Note that links to
inputs on other nodes are not shown in this dialog box.
CAUTION
Viewing owners by right-clicking a module's output register will only show you module linkages on the
same node. Any links to modules on different nodes will not be shown. If links to modules on other nodes
may exist, always check the links at a module’s inputs.
Deleting the Link at a Module’s Input
You can also check the links at a module’s input. Using Designer, right-click on the
input symbol on a module to view a dialog box listing each of the inputs and the
output registers they are linked to. You can unlink inputs from within this dialog
box as well.
Replacing a Link
You do not need to unlink a module’s input before linking a different output
register to it. If you link an output register to an input that is already linked, the
existing link is overwritten.
