Figure 1 shows the Control tab in the workspace. The Control tab allows you to view and modify your system design. This view displays components to provide information about your system. The control components in this view correspond to the device’s inputs, logic, and outputs, which flow from the left side of the workspace to the right. The Control tab is divided into categories relating to the main items that make up a system (for example, Network Inputs and Network Outputs). The items listed in these sections are derived from the items selected for your system in the System Selection Wizard. For information on this wizard, see the System Selection Wizard in the Configuring a System section.
Depending on the mode in which the tool is operating, you are able to perform certain tasks using the Control tab. For information on the modes, see the Modes section. The following table describes the tasks you can perform using the Control tab in the different modes.
