Purpose

Usage

To inspect a source field, create a connection from the source field to the Listen Field of the FieldListener module.

The FieldListener displays the source field name, type and value and the type and instance name of the owner module. If Log to console is enabled, all changes to the source field are logged to the console.

Details

Parameter fields can be connected to the Listen Field by drag and drop or using the Connections Inspector.

Image fields, base fields and Inventor node fields, can be connected to the listenField by drag and drop from the Inputs or Outputs tabs of the module's automatic panel.
