Hi Jarek,

I wondered how the \"Property\" element (i.e. ScalarProperty) exactly works. It's not in the documentation.

It is a very simple element. I stores the last input value and sends stored value at start (only). There is nothing more than that.

How ist the \"Last input velaue before restart\" qualified?

Has the design to be saved to keep the value, or just ended however and restartet?

Yes, the design has to be saved to restore it on the next load. It is just the same as all other elements which store (remember) values.

The last value is read when the design is in processing mode. That mode is always AFTER start of this element and before stop.

Hi Jarek, when I connect slider to Property then none of the vlaues are passed along. Are there several different classes of signals in BioEra? It would be good to understand the underlying mechanisms so that one can know which elements can be connected to which. Thanks

P.S. are there any concerns about using undocumented elements such as this one?

Property doesn't pass input values. It remembers the last input value. And sends it at start (only).

I will update the manual.
