Icon Assortment
A complete reference listing of all of the icons available within HyperWare is
included in the Master Icon Listing in Appendix A. Details on Configuration,
applications, and proper usage are described.
Global Icon
One special icon that is included in every Program Net is called the Global
icon. Within the Global icon’s Configuration dialog are options for various
global Program Net options. These options include Program Net Name,
memory utilization mode, clock resolution, and modem paramteres. The
operation of this icon should be reviewed in the Master Icon Reference in
Appendix A before attempting to construct a Program Net.
Making Connections Between Icons
Lines are used within a Program Net to indicate the flow of signals between
icons. (See Figure 7... -1)
Signal Types
Three types of signals can be communicated between icons in a
Program Net. The three signal types are differentiated by color and
their different functions follow:
D ATA ( RED )
Numerical values are transmitted from icon to icon via Data type
signal connections. HyperNet allows Data connections to be
made ONLY between Data terminals on icons to preclude
mismatching of signal types.
L OGIC (G REEN )
True / False values are transmitted from icon to icon via Logic
type signal connections. Logic signals have only two states. As
with the other signal types, HyperNet only allows Logic signals to
be connected to Logic type terminals on icons.
