4.4.3. Adding Generic Component Interfaces and Signals

The Signals & Interfaces tab of the Component Instantiation editor allows you to customize signals and interfaces for your generic component:

  1. Double-click Generic Component in the IP Catalog.
  2. In the Component Instantiation editor, click the Signals & Interfaces tab, as Adding Generic Component Interfaces and Signals describes.
  3. To add an interface, click <<add interface>> in the left pane and select the interface. The selected interface appears in the parameter editor to the right, where you specify its parameters.
  4. To add signals to the selected interface, click <<add signal>> below the selected interface.
  5. To move signals between interfaces, select the signal and drag it to another interface.
  6. To rename a signal or interface, select the element, and then press F2.
  7. To remove a signal or interface, right-click the element, and then click Remove.
    Note: Alternatively, to remove a signal or interface, select the element and press Delete. When you remove an interface, Platform Designer also removes all of its associated signals.
