Help: Ports and Interfaces 2
« on: September 20, 2012, 01:41:55 am »
Hi All

I wanted to tap in on all of your experience as I can't find the correct way to model a particular issue ... thanks in advance for reading.

I have a system with a number of I/O lines (signal A, signal B etc) and a multi-port I/O card (Port A:0 - 7, Port B: 0-7 etc) and I am working in the component model.

I wish to generate a diagram which allows me to create an I/O card component and then add each bit of each port. I then wish to link each signal to a specific I/O Port, for example

 Port A Bit 3 - Signal A
 Port B Bit 2 - Signal B

I can draw the diagram and feel happy with this, but when I generate the document I would like to see a table somewhere that says

 Port A Bit 0
 Port A Bit 1
 Port A Bit 2
 Port A Bit 3 - Signal A
 ...

 Port B Bit 0
 Port B Bit 1
 Port B Bit 2 - Signal B
 ...

Hence describes my I/O mapping in both diagram and document.

Can anybody reccomend how I achieve this please as I'm running out of ideas of how to achieve this

Thanks

Steve

You should consider looking into SyML. For the time being you could model the signals via Information Flow conveying according classes representing the signal.
