Cables transmit data between Units and are also used to connect Trigger Ports. Ports are the connecting points of Cables.

Impossible Connections

Although onCore designer does type conversion automatically, not all types are compatible with each other. For example you can't connect a String Port to an Image Port (or vice versa). onCore designer refuses impossible connections, so you will not be able to connect Ports which are not compatible.

Connecting a Cable

In the Workflow View, click on the source Port.
Draw the Cable to the destination Port.
Click the destination Port to connect the Cable.

Cables can also be drawn "reverse style", i.e. from destination to source.

Removing a Cable

In the Workflow View, select the Cable you want to disconnect.
It will be highlighted.
Press the backspace key.

Alternatively you can grab the Cable on the destination port and just release it on some empty area of the Workflow View.

Rewiring a Cable

In the Workflow View, click on the Port to which the Cable you want to rewire is connected.
Connect it to another Port the same way as described above.
