Bus Creator
Forms a bus from signals of different types.
blockType: BusCreator

Path in the library: |
Description
The Bus Creator block combines a set of input elements into a bus. All types of elements can be connected to the input ports, including other buses. The bus elements can be accessed using the block Bus Selector.
| The output port of the Bus Creator block can only be connected to the input port of the block Bus Selector |
Bus elements must have unique names. By default, each bus element inherits the name of the element connected to the block Bus Creator. If duplicate names are present, the Bus Creator block adds the port number to all input element names. For elements that have no names, the Bus Creator block generates names of the form signaln, where n is the port number connected to the element. You can refer to items by name when searching for their sources or selecting items to connect to other blocks.

Parameters
Main
# Number of inputs — number of elements in the input bus
Details
The number of input elements must be an integer greater than or equal to `2'. Increasing the value of this parameter adds empty input ports to the block. Before you simulate the model, make sure that the input element is connected to each input port.

Details
The list of input elements includes all the elements included in the block, including elements of nested buses. The arrow next to the element indicates that the input element is a bus. To display the contents of this bus, click the arrow.
To select the source of an item included in the block, select the item in the list and click the Find button.
If you change the name of an item while the options window is open, click Refresh to update the name in the list.
To rearrange in the output bus, use the Up and Down. You can select several adjacent top-level items in the Bus Items list to rearrange or delete them.
To add or remove input elements, click Add or Delete respectively. Before assembling the model, make sure that an input element is connected to each input port.
