Fig. 3 An element with a negated output port
To connect an input port with an output port click on one of the ports, hold the mouse button
pressed, drag the appearing blue connector over the other port (See below) and then release the
mouse button. Note that one output port can be connected to several input ports. But it is not
possible to connect two input ports or two output ports with each other. Connectors can be
selected just like any other element. When selected they can be deleted by clicking
the Delete button in the toolbar or by pressing the Delete key on the keyboard.
Fig. 4 Connecting an input port with an output port
Some elements allow to dynamically add or delete ports. To do so, right-click on the element or
double-tap the element if touch functionality is supported. A pop-up menu will appear
(See below). Here you can add and delete ports. Note that there is a minimum and maximum
number of ports for each element. You can also jump to the help topic for the specific element
through this pop-up menu.
Fig. 5 Adding an input port to an Add Unit
The elements on the diagram are processed one after the other. To see the processing order,
click on the Processing order button on the toolbar. The HMS Hub editor will show the
processing order of each element in a small box in its upper right corner. The element with the
processing order number 0 is processed first. Click the same button again to hide the processing
order.
