I’ve attached the introspect() function that I wrote years ago (in the FPMI days). Still handy today. I suggest you load it as a shared module, then call it like:

`powerTable = event.source.parent.getComponent('Power Table')
shared.inspect.introspect(powerTable)`  
~~inspect.py (3.09 KB)~~

Edit: Link expired. Use the version shown below.
