#!N TAB - TAB - TAB #!EF #!N #!N Functional Details 
#!N #!N This tool receives variable values from a remote application 
that uses the DXLink library of function calls (see  #!Ldxlink,dxall1141 h DXLink Developer's Toolkit  #!EL  in 
IBM Visualization Data Explorer Programmer's Reference). The value received from the 
application is passed as output from the DXLInput tool. #!N #!N 
The module's label (set in the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Notation #!EF field of 
the Configuration dialog box) is used to establish a global variable, 
which is then set by the DXLSet... functions of the DXLink 
development library. One of the parameters of these functions is the 
global variable name, which must be the same as the label 
of the DXLInput tool that is intended to receive the value 
given in the function call. Changing the text of the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
Notation #!EF field in DXLInput's configuration dialog box changes the label 
displayed on the tool's VPE stand-in, just as it does for 
Receivers and Transmitters. #!N #!N If there is no remote application 
setting the default values, DXLInput will output the value specified by 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   default #!EF . If a remote application sets the value, 
that value overrides  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   default #!EF . This parameter provides a 
mechanism that makes it easier to debug visual programs that are 
intended to be used and controlled by remote DXLink applications. Note: 
The  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   default #!EF value must be set in the module's 
configuration dialog box. Any value set by a connection to the 
output of another tool will  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   not #!EF be overridden by 
a value set by a remote application. #!N #!N See Also
