-/signal_names
+====== Signal Names ======
-or
-/signal_names
-the names of the signals used by the pipeline command.
-the + symbol is used as a delimiter for multiple entries.
+This is a common parameter in pipeline commands, allowing the user to specify which specific signals to be evaluated as input. Signal names are the third (bottom) level of the [[visual3d:documentation:visual3d_signal_types:data_tree|data tree]] hierarchy.
-for example, to specify the three signals rft1, rft2, and rft3
+The parameter will appear in commands as /Signal_Names or /SIGNAL_NAMES.
-/signal_names=rft1+rft2+rft3
+===== Multiple Input =====
-many commands allow signal_names to be blank
-/signal_names=
+The + symbol is used as a delimiter for multiple entries. For example, to specify the three signals RFT1, RFT2, and RFT3:
-in the cases that this is allowed, this indicates that visual3d should use all signals of the specified [[visual3d:documentation:pipeline:general_information:signal_types|signal_types]]
+<code>
+/Signal_Names=RFT1+RFT2+RFT3
+</code>
+===== Empty Input =====
+Some commands allow empty input for this parameter, for example:
+<code>
+/Signal_Names=
+</code>
+In these cases, this indicates that Visual3D should use all signals of the specified [[Visual3D:Documentation:Pipeline:General_Information:Signal_Types|signal type]] (and, if specified, [[visual3d:documentation:pipeline:general_information:signal_folder|signal folders]]).
+===== See Also =====
+The Signal_Type parameter is often accompanied by two other parameters:
+  * [[visual3d:documentation:pipeline:general_information:signal_types|Signal_Types]]
+  * [[visual3d:documentation:pipeline:general_information:signal_folder|Signal_Folder]]
+Together these three parameters represent the application-wide [[visual3d:documentation:visual3d_signal_types:data_tree_syntax|data tree syntax]].
