If you are using the Interconnects feature on Cloud, you will want to add the list of input and output ports for the products in the catalog. This way, these ports will be available when you want to connect the product with other products in the quote.
You can add the I/O list for a product from its details view under "Catalog > My Products." Here, go to the "IO List" tab.
You have the option to upload a CSV file with the list of I/Os, add I/Os one by one manually, or import the I/Os from the I/O library.
Upload CSV file
To upload a CSV file with I/Os:
1/ Click "Upload CSV."
2/ Click "Download sample file" to download the same CSV file.
3/ Enter the I/Os of the product in the CSV file, click "Browse" and upload the file.
4/ Click "Next" in the lower right corner of the modal and complete the workflow.
If you are using a CSV file with your own column names, you can map them to the "Signal Direction," "Signal," and "Terminal" columns.
You will see that I/Os in the CSV file are seen under the IO List tab.
Add ports manually
To add a port manually:
1/ Click "New I/O."
2/ In the modal, select an I/O you added to the I/O Library under "Settings > Drawings > Custom I/O Library" and click "Create."
3/ Add all the required I/Os of the product. These will be displayed in the I/Os section of the product's side panel in the quote.
The following is a screenshot of the I/Os of an amplifier added manually.
Import from Library
Click 'Import from Library" to populate the list of I/Os from D-Tools Library if they are available in the library.
You can edit the list of I/Os imported from the library.
Manage I/Os
If you want to edit an I/O, change the signal, terminal, or direction in the row of the I/O.
If you want to delete an I/O, select the I/O and click "Delete I/O" in the top right corner, above the I/Os table.
