Table of Contents
The Module Inspector gathers and displays extensive module information. This information can also be found in other parts of the software.
The Fields tab lists all fields available in the module.
The Fields tab contains the same information as the automatic panel's Parameters tab.
As they can be edited in the same way, they shall be discussed together here.
The values of fields can be edited. The options depend on the parameter type. Click the entry to edit. To finish the edit, press RETURN (to save the field value) or TAB (to save the field value and open the next field value for editing).
Just like with automatic panels, parameter connections can be created by dragging the parameter of another module onto the Fields tab.
For the fields of the Module Inspector, a context menu is available. The options depend on the type of the field and if it is part of a parameter connection.
<ModuleName>.<FieldName> [FieldType]: <Value>
Displays the module name, the name of the field, its type, and its current value.
