Output

This block creates an output for the structure block into whose worksheet it was inserted.

At inserting the name of the structure block connector can be entered and the data type can be selected. The name appears left besides the block symbol. It must be unambiguous i.e. no other input or output block in the currently edited structure block may bear the same name. When inserting, therefore an unambiguous name is suggested. Any data type defined in the system can be selected.

The data type of the structure block connector can be selected from a list. The size of the list depends on the number of configured data types. User defined data types can be also contained besides the standard data types. Like the connections the output block is also colored depending on the data type.

The input of the output block can be connected with compatible outputs of other blocks in the worksheet. Before connecting the newly created structure block output it must be placed on the symbol of the structure block in the design view. (refer to programming systems online help)
