Fast Model Tools User Guide: 6.2. Adding ports

6.2. Adding ports

Two ports are required for this component. See Figure 6.1:

the slave port receives the serial data
the master port writes out the doubled characters.

Both ports use serial data and they must therefore use the SerialData protocol that is provided in Fast Model Portfolio.

Add the ports to the component:

In the Block Diagram view of the SerialCharDoubler component, right click into the blank diagram and select context menu item Add port...
The Self Port dialog is displayed. See Figure 6.2. Enter in for the ports Instance Name.
Figure 6.2. Self Port dialog
For Type select Slave Port.
To choose the protocol, click the Select... button Protocol. Select SerialData from the displayed list and click OK.
Figure 6.3. Select Protocol dialog
Leave the Self Port dialog by pressing the OK button. A port is added to the block diagram. Click to drop the port on the canvas.
Repeat the procedure for the out master port:
- Instance Name is out
- Type is Master Port
- Protocol is SerialData.

Click the Source tab for the SerialCharDoubler component. The code is updated as shown in Example 6.2:
