Jarek (or any other Bioera guru),

I am trying to use a combination of Property Getter and Property Setter to send the contents of the Patiennt Info field in EDF Reader to a Text Display. Here are my settings:

-From- EDF Reader

-To- Property Getter [into EV Event (top right side), PropType- Element Properties, Output- Object, Property-Patient, Initial Output- Selected Value, Trigger- Any Sample, Immediate- Checked, Output- Out (Object)]

-To- Property Setter [into In Object (right side, not bottom), Scope- Element Properties, Input Type- Object, Post Action- None, Property- Initial Text, Immediate- Checked, Output- EO Event (right side, not bottom)]

-To- Text Display [Text Object (left side, not bottom)]

My results are- Usually it does nothing, but if I play with some of the setting (reinit target, etc.) it will post the patient info to the initial text, but retains that value even when I load a new file.

Any ideas regarding what I am doing wrong, or am I even going about it correctly? I am using a ComboToolBar to select the files to send to the reader, and want the patient name to change as I change files (Ie. reflect the patient info from the currently loaded file)

Thanks in advance!!

Quick correction::

The line begining \"-To- Property Getter::

the \"into EV Event (top right side)\" should read \"into EV Event (top LEFT side),..

Thanks!

Another Correction::

Ditto the above for the \"Into\" on property setter!! The pipe goes (of course) into the left side of the element, not the right!

Brief left/right confusion going on there

Sorry!!!

Keith,

it might be easier to try on a real design. But general comment I have is: don't use PropertySetter. Connect the PropertyGetter directly to TextDisplay. You are already retrieving text, so there is no need. I think after that it should work. If not, send me a snippet design.

Jarek,

It looks like Property Setter was what was confusing things. Once I took it out, the design worked exactly as I wanted it to.

Slowly but surely i am getting the hang of things! Thank you for your undying patience! The more I work with it the more intuitive it becomes. And the cool thing is I am really just beginning to scratch the surface of Bioera's potential.

Thanks Jarek!
