Carl’s approach is good too, but if you want to stay closer to your original example, the key is that inside the function, there’s no slider, just a value, so you don’t have to ask for the value. (The error message indicates that it’s _already_ a tuple, not a slider whose value you need to request.) Panel’s `depends` decorator is already taking care of pulling that value out and supplying it to the function. To make that clear, I’ve renamed your `Slider` and `Ensemble` names to be lower case (always reserving upper case for class names for clarity), and also renamed `Slider` inside the function so that you can distinguish between the slider widget object (now called `slider`) and the _value_ of the slider (`slider.value`, provided by Panel as a tuple called `xrange` to the `ensemble` function). Hope this helps!

```auto
import holoviews as hv
import panel as pn
from panel import widgets as pnw
import numpy as np
hv.extension('bokeh')
coords = np.random.rand(50,2)
points = hv.Points(coords)
slider = pnw.RangeSlider(start=0, step=0.1, end=1, name='Zeitraum')

@pn.depends(xrange=slider)
def ensemble(xrange):
    points=hv.Points(coords)
    points.opts(color='k', marker='+', xlim=xrange)
    return pn.Row(points)
pn.Row(ensemble, slider)

```
