On the Saw Product Line branch we have a connection consisting of two nodes
Node A and Node B can represent hardware or software components
Connection A-B represents the set of data defined by messages, submessages, structures, and elements, that are sent over the network between publisher and subscriber nodes.
Ethernet represents the type of connection - example might be MUX, Fibre…etc
Clicking on Connection A-B opens the Messages Page, showing the connection’s messages in a table
Clicking the drop down arrow to the left of the message name expands the table to show the submessages for the message. The message may also contain an autogenerated header, which has the yellow color. Autogenerated message headers can be enabled or disabled via the connection’s Transport Type
Clicking on the Go To Message Details button will open the Structures Page which will display the list of Structures that make up the SubMessages
In this case Submessage 1 contains one structure, Structure 1
Clicking the drop down arrow to the left of the structure name expands the table to show the elements of the structure
Structure 1 is made up of 4 elements. Each element is assigned a Platform Type that defines the logical type, size in bytes, and value range of the element. The structure row itself has the total size of the structure, summing all of the elements. In this case, Structure 1 is 16 bytes.
