- Data Operators
This topic documents the parameters for the Data Operator, Data Icon operator, Data Test, and Data Icon Test actions. The basic parameters are the same for all four actions; the only difference is that the Icon versions have additional parameters for controlling the icon. - Data View
Data View serves as the command center for the Advanced Data Manipulation tools in Particle Flow. The basic operation of Data View is similar to that of Particle View: You start to build a data flow by dragging suboperators from the Depot at the bottom of the dialog into the main window. You access a suboperator's parameters by clicking it so its rollout appears on the right side of the dialog. And you create the actual flow, or schematic, by connecting suboperators, dragging between the output connector of one and an input connector or filter connector of another. - Data Types
The Advanced Data Manipulation toolset in Particle Flow uses a variety of data types; following is a comprehensive list with illustrations of each type as a suboperator input connector: - Priority and Execution Order
The Output-type suboperators, including Amount Change, have options to define the Priority order and Execution order. When creating complex setups, it's important to be aware of these options. - Expose Parameters Dialog
The standard procedure when exposing parameters is to highlight a parameter in the left-hand column, set the parameters in the lower part of the dialog, and then click Add.
