Purpose

System

Description

pict

A subsystem block represents a system within another system. In order to create a subsystem, copy the subsystem block from the library into your schematic. You can then open the subsystem block and copy components into the subsystem's window.

The input, output, and electrical terminals on the block icon correspond to the input, output, and electrical port blocks in the subsystem's schematic. If the block names are not hidden, they appear as terminal labels on the subsystem block.

You can move terminals with the mouse around the edges of the subsystem by holding down the Shift key while dragging them with the left mouse button or by using the middle mouse button.

Parameters

You can create a dialog box for your Subsytem by masking the block (see Mask Parameters for more details).
