Description

This tool allows the user to set which IO's are outputs or inputs. Using this tool the user can also re-name the IO's to fit their needs. This tool can also be used in conjunction with the Hardware tools to assist in displaying bits of any given numeric

Typically the tool is uses as either input or output Using a separate instance for each input or output

Using the IO Collection Mapped Tool

 Drag and drop the IO Collection Mapped tool from its location in the ROTIO palette to the ROTMain palette. Find the tool and right-click select edit to bring up the tool's properties page. 

The Mapped IO page:
To manually select which tools are to be inputs or outputs place a check mark within the tools inputs section or outputs section on the IO to be changed. For example if  under inputs there is a check mark next to the "1" then 1 will be an input and so on.

The IO Collection page:
This page will display the results of whether an IO is an input or an output or if the IO is on or off. The inputs will have a symbol similar to this -l l- next to them,  and the outputs will have a symbol similar to this -( )- next to them . Additionaly if the input or output is on a the input/output symbol will be green. If the input or ouput is off it will not be lit up.

The user may also change the name of the IO to fit their needs within this section. To change the name of an IO right-click on the IO within the list. A new page will appear. The user may type a name into the box located on the Output property page. Once the user types in a name select apply and close. The IO will now appear with the new name.

Parameters

BitPattern

when input this can be assigned to externally ie written as in input from another parameter
when output this is written so can be read externally by another tool __footer__
