Terminal¶

The terminal object is used for the desing of user defined blocks in the block folder. You need terminals to designate those nodes in the structure page which will get an associated node in the block symbol.

The internal structure of a user block is connected by means of the the outer block nodes to other blocks. These nodes however cannot directly be created in the symbol page. They appear automatically when placing terminals into the structure page exactly on those nodes which should provide an outer block connection. Terminal and outer block node are inseparable pairs. If you delete a terminal in the structure page the corresponding outer block node is also deleted and vice versa. Terminal and block node always have the same name which can be changed. Best practice is to use the actual signal name.
