Creating Pathways, Carriers, and Breaks
You can create pathways, carriers, and breaks in platform diagrams.
A pathway provides a route through which connections are made between functions in separate components. In a platform diagram, a carrier transmits information between functions, and you assign signals to it. A break allows you to split a pathway and simulate the wires on which the signals will run.
This chapter covers:
- Pathways
- Carrier
- Break Pair
