Avalon Interface data bits per symbol as component parameter

[Altera_Forum]

A Qsys component I created uses an Avalon-ST interface. I'm trying to set the data bits per symbol property of the streaming source as a parameter of my component so that it can be set from an Instance Parameter from my top-level Qsys system.  

 I need this because this component is connected to an IP Core (NCO) that changes its data bits per symbol when you change its resolution parameters. So of course, I need the source and the sink data bits per symbol to match.   If the above isn't possible, are there any other workarounds?  Thanks.

do you need that at runtime or at compiletime?

Compiletime. I'm able to set the Avalon signal widths through parameters, but I don't know how to achieve this with bits per symbol.

you want to write some tcl code and give the value of some variable to the parameter. You also may want to read [1] and [2] for that purpose.
