Adding a Terminal
You can add terminals to an object. For example, you can add a second data
input terminal to the
Formula object.
1. Open the object menu and select
Add Terminal ⇒ Data Input.
-OR-
With
Show Terminals turned on, you can place the mouse pointer in
the “terminal area” (the left margin of the open view object) and press
Ctrl+A (press the Ctrl and A keys simultaneously).
Figure 1-21 shows the
Formula object menu open to add a data input
terminal, and another
Formula object that has a second terminal already
added. The new terminal is labeled
B. If the data inputs are tied to particular
functions, as with instrument drivers, you will be given a menu of these
functions. Otherwise, the terminals will be named
A, B, C... .
