OUT

Behavior / OUT
Block Name: OUT

Code File Location: VisualSim/actor/lib/OUT

Block Overview

o Route Data Structures to other parts of the model that maybe in the same BDE window (Destination is local) or any part of the model (Destination is Global).

o It connects blocks in a model without the use of wires or links.

o It is used to accelerate the model execution by reducing the number of links and ports in a model.

o It is used in conjunction with the IN block.

Description

The OUT block accepts Data Structures or token arriving on the input port and transmits it as a virtual connection to:

o 'IN' and 'MUX' that match the Destination_Name.

o 'NODE', Script block with the same name.

There can be a single or multiple occurances of the same destination name.

View the Virtual Connection Example in the BDE to understand the usage.

Parameter

Explanation

Type

Example

Destination_Name

Destination_Name, either IN, MUX, NODE, or uEngine Blocks.
The "Destination_Name" can be:
    * Parameter
    * String
    * Data structure field
    * Memory location
The Destination_Name can be a concatenation of any number of individual strings and parameters, separated by "+".

So, the destination port can be SDRAM + Param1 + destination. Each value will be processed first as a parameter and then as a string. The values will be concatenated to a single string that will be used as the destination name.

String

Dest_or_Fld_or_Mem_or_Fld.Fld_or_Fld(Idx)

Parameter -> Destination_Name = Paramter_Name
String-> Destination_Name = "dest"+"a"+"b"+"c"
DataStructure field -> Destination_Name -> input.FieldName or string+input.FieldName => ("abc"+input.FeildName)
Variable_List -> Variable_Name

Destination_Type

This specifies whether the Destination_Name is of type local or global. Local is used when there can be multiple instances of the current window in a model. Global is used when the connection is made to outside of this window or to a central location.

Local

Input	This is a default input port. This port accepts Data Structures to send to destination connections.	General
