End Specification

Choice

Select automatic, sending or receiving.

Select sending or receiving to designate the interface as either/or. Note that if one interface is specified as sending, the other must be specified as receiving or vice versa. Or, both can be selected as automatic.

This is very important when working with mutually coupled systems in remote-end mode, in order to ensure proper node/subsystem mapping and EMTDC runtime results. Specifying ends is not necessary for non-mutually coupled systems, but is recommended nonetheless.

Graphical indicators are provided as follows:
