Data Stores
●
All data-stores should have the same size in height and width (refer to Graphical Settings/Drawing Preferences) For readability reasons the shape should be different from the shape of function blocks.
●
If a bigger size is needed, then the relevant size should be a multiple of the pre-defined “basic” height or width.
●
Normal data-store as known in Structured Analysis (see ALG_PARAMS in the Joints and Forks figure).
●
Junction of information that is given by different function blocks within different time steps (see DATA_OUT in the Joints and Forks figure).
● Naming convention for flows to/from Data-Stores:
Unlabeled flows to/from data-stores assume the name of the data-store.
