*Connection()
Used to establish a live link between a measure and a plot curve. A master/slave relationship is created be the two entities. The measure is the master and the slave is the child. Update events are passed from the master to the slave as needed; this is what makes it a live link.

Example
To create a live link between measure(3), item(2000), magnitude(3) in the first window on
the first page, and a curve labeled "Mag N(252,528) (live)" in the second window on the
first
page:
*Connection(0, 0, 3:2000:3, 0, 1, Mag.N(252,528) (live))Comments
This command must appear in the session file after the last page block. Also, this command must appear in a *BeginConnections()/*EndConnections() block.
There are Tcl Commands to create connections. See poIMeasure Class Commands for more information.
