Complex dynamic link editor

The complex dynamic link editor allows you to add advanced logic to the source node value. The complex dynamic link editor displays in the Advanced tab of the dynamic link browser.

For more information about the dynamic link browser, see Dynamic link browser.

You can also open the complex dynamic link editor in the central pane by selecting Open in editor. Opening the complex dynamic link editor in the central pane is useful for editing a complex dynamic link that has a lengthy logic.

Tip: If multiple dynamic link browsers are open, you can open only one Advanced tab in the dynamic link browser. If the complex dynamic link editor is open when you open a dynamic link popup, the Advanced tab regains focus.


Item	Name	Description
	Basic	Returns to the Basic tab of the dynamic link browser. See Dynamic link browser.
	Advanced	Displays this Advanced tab to create a complex dynamic link.
	Path	The path to the variable set by the complex dynamic link.
	Block diagram	Shows the flow of transformations carried out by dynamic links and the converters.
	Dynamic link direction	Set the direction between the blocks in the diagram. The direction changes as you select the icon: Read from the source node to the parent. Write from the parent to the source node. Read from the source node to the parent and write from the parent to the source node.
	Insert	Interrupt the dynamic link chain by inserting a converter block to manipulate the output. You can use Insert to add additional processing on an output of another block. For example, you can multiply the result of an Expression evaluator by constant values.
	Add Dynamic Link or Change Dynamic Link	Specify or edit the binding between the source and parent.
	Close	Close the dynamic link browser.
	Remove link	Remove the dynamic link from the property.
	Open in editor	Open the block diagram of the complex dynamic link in the editor.
	Configure	From the complex dynamic link editor tab, use Configure > Add parent array index to link the source variable to a specific index of the parent variable. Use Configure > Add dynamic path converter to create a Key-value converter or Conditional converter. Use Configure > EU Mode to create a converter on which you can dynamically build the variable source path. These options are for engineering units of measure only: Default. No conversion is applied. Localize. Sets the unit of measure of the parent variable based on the user locale. Copy EU from source. Sets the unit of measure of the parent variable as the unit of measure of the source variable.
	Delete	From the complex dynamic link editor tab, remove the converter or the dynamic link and its children.
