 In your initialization code, create a `ParamListener` which will declare and get the parameters.
 An exception will be thrown if any validation fails or any required parameters were not set.
 Then call `get_params` on the listener to get a copy of the `Params` struct.

+# Using parameters defined in another package
+
+This package is a minimal example demonstrating how the parameters defined in `generate_parameter_library/example`
+can be used in a different package (i.e. the current one :  `generate_parameter_library/example_external`).
+
+In particular, check the `CMakeLists.txt` file and the `#include` instructions in the source files.
+
+## Build the node
+
+```
+ mkdir colcon_ws
+ mkdir colcon_ws/src
+ cd colcon_ws/src
+ git clone https://github.com/picknikrobotics/generate_parameter_library.git
+ cd ..
+ colcon build

+
+## Run the C++ node
+
+```
+source install/setup.bash
+ros2 run generate_parameter_library_example_external test_node --ros-args --params-file src/generate_parameter_library/example_external/config/implementation.yaml
+```
+

+  Description: specifies damping ratio values for x, y, z, rx, ry, and rz used in the admittance calculation. The values are calculated as damping can be used instead: zeta = D / (2 * sqrt( M * S ))
+  Constraints:
+    Min value: 0.1
+    Max value: 10.0
+```
+
+If you try to set a value out of the specified bounds,
+
+`ros2 param set /admittance_controller admittance.damping_ratio [-10.0,-10.0,-10.0,-10.0,-10.0,-10.0]`
+
+you will get the error
+
+`Setting parameter failed: Value -10.0 in parameter 'admittance.damping_ratio' must be within bounds [0.1, 10.0]`

+
+you will get the error
+
+`Setting parameter failed: Length of parameter 'admittance.damping_ratio' is 3 but must be equal to 6`
