Chris,
The ParametricPreprocessor will set as many parameters using Parametric:SetValueForRun to the value for a particular run. So if you have both the following objects:
Parametric:SetValueForRun,
$appGAngle, !- Name
0.0, !- Value for Run 1
90.0, !- Value for Run 2
180.0, !- Value for Run 3
270.0; !- Value for Run 4
Parametric:SetValueForRun,
$insDepth, !- Name
0.0508, !- Value for Run 1
0.0762, !- Value for Run 2
0.1016, !- Value for Run 3
0.1270; !- Value for Run 4
For the first run $appGAngle would be 0.0 and $insDepth would be 0.0508. For the second run, $appGAngle would be 90.0 and $insDepth would be 0.0762, etc..
If you want to look at all the permutations, you just need to set the values for each individual run so that the permutations are expressed, for example:
Parametric:SetValueForRun,
$appGAngle, !- Name
0.0, !- Value for Run 1
90.0, !- Value for Run 2
180.0, !- Value for Run 3
270.0, !- Value for Run 4
0.0, !- Value for Run 5
90.0, !- Value for Run 6
180.0, !- Value for Run 7
270.0, !- Value for Run 8
0.0, !- Value for Run 9
90.0, !- Value for Run 10
180.0, !- Value for Run 11
270.0, !- Value for Run 12
0.0, !- Value for Run 13
90.0, !- Value for Run 14
180.0, !- Value for Run 15
270.0; !- Value for Run 16
Parametric:SetValueForRun,
$insDepth, !- Name
0.0508, !- Value for Run 1
0.0508, !- Value for Run 2
0.0508, !- Value for Run 3
0.0508, !- Value for Run 4
0.0762, !- Value for Run 5
0.0762, !- Value for Run 6
0.0762, !- Value for Run 7
0.0762, !- Value for Run 8
0.1016, !- Value for Run 9
0.1016, !- Value for Run 10
0.1016, !- Value for Run 11
0.1016, !- Value for Run 12
0.1270, !- Value for Run 13
0.1270, !- Value for Run 14
0.1270, !- Value for Run 15
0.1270; !- Value for Run 16
This would explore all combinations of $appGAngle and $insDepth (I am not sure why someone would want to do this).
Dru also mentioned, the 1651-RP project where I used eppy, you can learn about it more at:
https://github.com/santoshphilip/eppy
The files for the 1651-RP project are part of the final report which is available from ASHRAE's web site. ASHRAE members can download final reports for free.

Chris,
Don't know about the Parametric Preprocessor but Jason Glazer created a set of pythons scripts for doing just what you're looking for in an ASHRAE research project. I think he has a GitHub now (or you can download from ASHRAE if you're a member). 1651-RP is the research project number.

I am reading the Parametric Preprocessor documentation and I am
wondering if you can change more than one parametric object per run.
The examples in the documentation show only one object per run changing.
For example, I might setup to objects as individual ECMs but then I
would also want parametric runs with different combinations of those
individual ECMs.
Thanks for any assistance!
