How to Create a Port

HP 81200 Data Generator/Analyzer Platform User Guide, Revision 2.1
How to Create a Port
If you start from scratch, the DUT area of the Connection Editor shows
only an empty template. You have to define ports (usually i/o buses, but
also ports for clocks, latches, strobes, etc.) and terminals (DUT pins).
DUT data ports receive or return data streams. DUT pulse ports receive
clocks and pulses from the HP 81200 system.
To create a port:
1 Right-click on the port area (right mouse button).
2 Choose the type of port. Select either Insert Input Port or Insert Output
Port. Pulse ports are always DUT input ports.
The Insert Port dialog box is displayed.

If you have chosen a data port, you can still switch between input and
output port.

The terminals of an input port can only be connected to data generator
channels, the terminals of an output port only to analyzer channels.
3 Enter a suitable port name and the number of terminals.
4 Click OK.
The Connection Editor shows the new port. The terminals get the port
name and are automatically numbered.
