Inputs and Outputs
A subsystem component has a set of sources and targets that are based on the
sources and targets of the various maps that it contains. The sources and targets
(inputs and outputs) are the interface points of the subsystem component used
within a system.
In general, a system input is a component input that is not internally produced
and a system output is a component output that is not deleted. When a system is
presented as a component of another system, the subsystem inputs and outputs
serve as interface points, allowing it to be connected to other components in the
view.
Double-clicking a subsystem icon expands the view to show inputs and outputs
similar to the following diagram.
Double-clicking an input or output card displays the execution settings for the
subsystem component.
Default Settings
The default settings for inputs and outputs are based on the inputs and outputs of
the various maps contained within the subsystem.
In the system diagram above, the following applies:
♦ A system input card correlates to a specific input card of a map component
that it contains.
♦ A system output card correlates to a specific output card of a map component
it contains.
