Adding Inputs and Outputs to the State Machine

Click the Input or Output button.
The properties editor of the element is opened automatically and allows the user to change the element properties immediately. See Editing the Configuration of a Scalar Element for further information.
Note
Element names must not begin with a number. If you enter a name that begins with a number, an allowed name is suggested instead.
If you do not want to open the properties editor upon an element’s creation, deactivate the Always show Editor for new Elements option at the bottom of the editor.
You can revoke this setting in the ASCET options window, Confirmation Dialogs node.
Close the properties editor with OK.
In a block diagram editor for ActionCondition diagrams, click inside the drawing area where you want to position the input or output.
The input or output is created. You can use the element the same way as an argument or a variable.
