Details
It depends on the Action setting which addresses can be used. For most objects that let you specify an Address (Address property), you can also specify the Action and an optional Value.If an address has already been specified, it is shown in the large text box. Click once on it to select it (there may be more addresses in the text). After selecting it, the selector columns are filled with all availabe address items. The address parts of the selected address are highlighted.
In the text box at the bottom, addresses (and other text, if allowed for the action) can also be typed by hand. The address colors green if it is recognized; it colors red if the address is unknown.
To see the value of a variable for the SET_PARAMETER action, click right in either both right lists (lists of variable parameter names and list items).
