Link Mode
Standard Link Mode
Link
mode allows a symbol to be broadcast to one or many components from a
single input. That is, any component(s) with Link
Mode On
will receive the broadcasted
symbol. This can work in two ways:
Components with Link Mode On will accept symbols entered in the Main Search Bar.
Components with Link Mode On can accept symbols selected or entered in the Watchlist. To enable this feature, Enable Broadcast must be selected from the Watchlist Menu. Symbols will then be broadcast to all linked components through a single click. The Enable Broadcast setting is unique to each instance of the Watchlist component and is not a general setting. In order to broadcast from every watchlist, the Enable Broadcast function must be selected in each component.
Note: Symbols entered in the Main Search Bar will always be broadcast to the active component highlighted with red trim.
Enhanced Link Mode is an extension of the standard Link Mode function with additional customization. If Enhanced Link Mode is enabled, each and every component can be programmed to receive from and broadcast to a number of different channels.
To enable
Enhanced Link Mode, go to the Preferences icon 
in the
top right hand corner of the FlightDesk application.
To link
a component using the Enhanced Link Mode, click the 
icon in the top right hand corner of a component, or access the component
menu for rail components. The Enhanced selections work as follows:
Broadcast All will send a symbol to any component receiving any channel. Receive All will receive from any channel broadcasting and any entry in the Main Search Bar.
Global Search broadcast will populate any component receiving all, any component receiving global search, and the Main Search Bar – additionally the active component will receive from the global search input. Global Search will receive from any component broadcasting on Global Search or All as well as entries in the Main Search Bar
Channel 1-4 broadcast will populate any component receiving All and any component receiving the respective channel broadcast. Channel 1-4 receive will receive from any component broadcasting to All and from the respective broadcasting channel.
