An Interface Table contains I/O inputs and I/O outputs.

An I/O Interface has an associated subsystem with which it can be connected. Some allow for multiple associated subsystems.

I/O Interfaces

An I/O Interface in Dashboards contains data points of I/O Outputs and I/O Inputs.

A project can have multiple I/O Interfaces. These can be added and edited in RT-LAB. For more information see: RT-LAB Documentation

Associated Subsystem

In the case of I/O Interfaces, creating the first connection between two data points (one interface and one from a subsystem) associates the interface with said subsystem.

Not all data points can be connected together. Once a I/O Interface has an associated subsystem, data points from that I/O Interface can only connect to data points from that subsystem. To create a connection, see Connecting Data Points

Exception: Some I/O Interfaces allow multiple connections in multiple subsystems, such as the OPAL-RT Board

The Associated Subsystem can be viewed at the top of the Interface view, above the filter.

The Associated Subsystem can also be viewed in the data point picker, if relevant.

Table View

I/O Interface tables are visible in tree view format or in flat view format, which can be toggled with the following button:

Similar to Model tables, data points in I/O Interface tables can be connected to other data points, they can be added to Table Boards and the can be sorted and filtered.

For more on the functionality of tables, see Data Point Tables
