Figure 7... -10: HyperNet Icon topology and terminal types
TERMINALS
All icons (except the Global Icon) have terminals for the addition of signal connections. An explanation for the various types of terminals follows:
LOGIC / DATA INPUT TERMINALS
On the left side of the icon are typically one or two inputs for Logic or Data signal types. Data enters the icon for processing through these Input terminals. Some two input icons (eg Math) do not require signals to be connected to both Input terminals for operation.
LOGIC / DATA OUTPUT TERMINAL
On the right side of the icon is a single Output terminal. After processing of an input signal(s) is completed, the output is updated. Depending on the type of icon and the User configuration, this Output terminal may or may not be updated every time the Update and/or an Input terminal is updated. The Enable input (description follows), the type of processing that the icon performs, and User specified parameters within the Configuration dialog all effect when the Output terminal is updated.
For example, when using an Average icon, the Output terminal will only be updated with a new value after a User specified number of inputs have been averaged.
ENABLE INPUT TERMINAL
Many icons have an Enable input terminal located near their top left corner that will accept a Logic input (True/False). Depending on the state of the input signal, the icon is enabled or disabled for processing.
NOTE: if the Enable input is not connected, it defaults to the Enabled state.
