Once connection to the collaborative session has been achieved using the MServer module, this module can be launched.
MShareParam is used to share Parameter data between members of a collaborative session. Data passed in on the input port (In_Param) is passed to all other members in the session. Data passed in to the session, from other collaborators, comes out on the output port (Out_Param). This module is capable of being a loop controller.
The 'Group ID' for this module can be seen on the control panel. This ID uniquely identifies all collaborating modules that are conceptually sharing a single data object. This ID allows collaborators to identify modules that are sharing the same data object. When a new data object is passed in to one member of the Group, this then becomes the new shared data object for the whole group.
Port: In_Param1
Type: Parameter
Optional: This port is optional
Parameter value to be shared with the collaborating
session.
Input ports In_Param2 to In_Param20 operate in a similar manner.
Port: Pass Through
Type: Option Menu
Menu Item: Off
Menu Item: On
This switch, which by default is off, controls the
routing of the data through the module.
When off and not connected to a collaborative session, data passed in goes no where.
When on and not connected to a collaborative session, data passed in on an input port, is passed through to the corresponding output port.
When off and connected to a collaborative session, data passed in on an input port is passed into the collaborative session only.
When on and connected to a collaborative session, data passed in on an input port is passed into the collaborative and also passed out on the corresponding output port.
Port: Initiate
Type: Button
Makes the module connect to the COVISA Server.
Port: Connection_State
Type: Option Menu
Menu Item: Reconnect
Menu Item: Disconnect
This menu box allows the module to be disconnected
and reconnected from/to the COVISA Server.

Port: Out_Param1
Type: Parameter
A shared parameter object passed in from
the collaborative session, or from the module's
input port if the "Pass Through" switch is set
to on.
Output ports Out_Param2 to Out_param20 operate in a similar manner.
