Aliases

Sometimes the parameter name (or ID) AMDA works with (and what you see in the module window after dropping the parameter) is too long. It concerns especially the parameters from the Remote Centers when the ID is constructed automatically. Aliases permit you to replace long ID with your own short alias.

DoubleClick on the parameter node (or use context menu) and in the opened Create Alias window you'll see the parameter ID which will be put into the forms for plot, data mining, etc. Put any name you prefer and Save it.

You see new alias added to the Aliases Tree of the WorkSpace Explorer. From now instead of the long parameter ID AMDA will put your alias with "#" prefix into all forms. The aliases are dragged-and-dropped as the usual parameters.
