1 | initial version |
The first will look for your parameter in the global namespace (ei it will find /my_param) the second will look under the nested namespaces of the node itself (ei it will find /namespace/my_node_name/my_param).
You can still find the local namespace copy of that parameter with the global nodehandle, but you will need to type in alot more information.
