Introduction

Capabilities are special blocks that let you add features and attributes to other NeurOn-Line Blocks. They attach directly to the top of other blocks. A Capability is a small attachment on top of a block that adds functionality to the block. For example, a Control Initiation Capability lets a block pass a control signal every time its evaluated, and a Graph Capability lets a block display its values on a graph.

You can find the Capabilities palette under the Action & Other submenu of the Palettes menu:


Charting and Graphing Attributes

These Capabilities let you display a NeurOn-Line block's data on a G2 chart or graph:

Forcing a Block to Evaluate

The Clock block forces the attached block to evaluate at specified times.

Starting a Control Path

The Control Initiation Capability block passes a control signal whenever the attached block receives a value.
