In my previous feature request I detailed how I would use the Wire Numbering feature I described.
Here I describe the ability to export the attributes of a custom block.
Recall that in the wire numbering example I described many of our schematics as glorified block diagrams.
I intend to create custom blocks that contain details relevant to my integration tasks. As an example, let's discuss how I would add a Frame Synchronizer to an existing broadcast plant.
I've made the determination that I'm going to feed the framesync from input 32 located on video jack field A in rack 21. in this case one block would be a single graphical element (perhaps a simple rectangle or an on/off page flag) that would have the following attributes:
device export begin;
device rack, alphanumeric rack number
device elevation, location of device specified in rack units (RU) from bottom or top of rack
device name, alphanumeric device name
device type I/O 1, alphanumeric I/O type SDI, ASI, AES, ANALOG etc.
device direction I/O 1, Alphanumeric direction IN, OUT
device I/O number, numeric, could be one of very many inputs or outputs
More device I/O goes here
And here,
Device export end
The I/O type data would be linked to the wire number discussed in my previous feature request.
