Connection Specification

A Connection Specification indicates a communication path between two processors, two devices, or a processor and a device. A connection usually represents a direct hardware coupling, such as an RS-232 cable. It can also represent an indirect coupling.

To display a Connection Specification, double-click any icon representing a connection, or click Browse > Specifications.

The Connection Specification consists of two tabs, which contain the same elements as the Device Specification. Refer to Device Specification on page 173.

Process Specification

Processes are threads of control that execute on a processor. One process specification documents one thread of control.

You access the Process Specification through the Processes field of a Processor Specification. None of the information contained in the Process Specification is displayed in a diagram; thus, process properties can only be viewed and modified through a Process Specification.

Specification Content

The Process Specification consists of the General tab.
