Condition at Destination node.
-
Calculated Value at Destination node.
-

You can easily check which Sources are connected to which Destinations, and vice versa, by parking on a specific Source or Destination. If you park on a Source, all Destinations connected to this Source, and the connections themselves, are highlighted. If you park on a Destination, all connected Sources and their connections are highlighted in the same way. Alternatively, you can click on a specific connection. The Sources and Destinations linked by this connection are then highlighted.
