Omega Vehicle Security OMP-MODL Modifying the Routing of Icon Connection Lines, Saving the Net

7... HYPERNET™ I CON BASED PROGRAMMING

♦Multiple connections to a single Input terminal.

During the construction of Program Nets, it is common for multiple connection lines to originate at an Output terminal, however most icons can only have one or two inputs. Some icons such as the Scroll Tracking and Destination File icons (used in the Post- Processing and HyperTrack Windows) allow for more than two inputs and will automatically add input terminals as connection lines are added.

Modifying the Routing of Icon Connection Lines

The actual on-screen routing of the connections can be modified. In some applications, the links may display across verbage (Icon Names, Units, etc) making the verbage difficult to read. To modify the route of a connection, from the menu bar, select TOOLS / VIEW CONNECTORS. The HyperNet Window display will change slightly showing a Connectors as small colored boxes overlaying the icon terminals that have connections. By dragging and dropping these connectors using the mouse and RIGHT BUTTON, the connection line paths can be rerouted.

Saving the Net

After development of the Program Net, the program can be saved to a file by clicking on the Save to Disk icon in the Toolbar.

NET PERFORMANCE

After construction of a Program Net a quick review should be done to insure that the Net’s performance in the OMP-MODL will meet the User’s goal. This check should include proper implementation and for higher speed applications, a processing (execution) speed review.

Program Net Checklist

♦Has the Global Icon been configured? Has a Program Name and Description been assigned?

♦Have connections been added between icons?

♦Have desired measurement units (eg C, F, ohms, etc) been selected?

♦Does each icon have a name and output name? Names are not necessary for the icons to function, however, if they are used consistently during the construction of a Program Net, the presence of a User defined name (vs the default name) becomes an indicator that the icon has been configured. Additionally, the added annotation makes comprehension of the net by other Users and/or at a later date even easier.

♦Do the Memory icons have names assigned? If omitted, it may be more difficult to identify data during plotting and further post- processing.
