Explanation

This is the Inputs and Outputs page. It represents the I/O of the currently selected device. Inputs are displayed in the left-hand grid and outputs are displayed in the right-hand grid. This is by convention only. You are free to place inputs on the right-hand side and vice versa. Each port record consists of a Name, Type, Connector and a Pin Type. Selected records will be included in the preview of any Function I/O and Concept blocks that you create.
