5.2 Anatomy of a Connection

A connection lets data flow from one module's output port to (usually) another module's input port. Sometimes a connection will connect a module's output port to its input port.

Connections are colored grey if they are disabled.

Pressing Button3 while the mouse pointer is over a connection activates a connection's pop-up menu. The content of the pop-up menu changes depending on the state of the connection. The following items are available in the pop-up menu:

Delete

Deletes a connection.

Insert Module

Creates and inserts a module ``into'' a connection. Insert Module is a pop-up menu listing modules that contain at least one input and at least one output port matching the connection. The chosen module is created and then the connection is routed into the left-most matching input port and out of the left-most matching output port.

Disable (or Enable)

Disables (or enables) a connection.

Notes

Displays a connection's note pad.
