If I reinit the polygraph it displays properly. 1) am I doing something wrong? 2) if not is it possible to have the element reinitialize when connections are removed? Thanks

When I remove last connection in Polygraph, the design reinitializes and Polygraph continues to run without this last trace - so that is OK. When I remove a middle connection, Polygraph stops with a red cross, everything else in the design continues to run. This probably could be improved, but I assume that is not what you are asking about?

I do have it set up to reintialize when if element down not process And reinitialize all when property is changed. I am using 3.036

When I disconnect an input the trace disappears as it should. If I do this during a session and everything reinitializes then videos restart, music restarts, pacman goes back to the beginning. Is it possible to have a setting for the polygraph that would reinit when connections change? That way the design would go on without interruption while I make changes in the displays. Thanks George

You must have had this option cleared: \"Reinitialize all on a connection change\" before. By default it is selected, so that is why I observed a different behavior. I will make a following improvement in 3.042: if the above option is NOT selected, I will only reinitialize the target element when any of its input connections is removed in designer. That should do what you need.
