* The colours can be configured in the RT System Editor settings.
The System Editor updates its display of component states in real time. The update period can be configured using the RT System Editor settings.
The display of each individual RTC can be changed. This has no effect on the system or the actual component, it is merely changing how the RTC is displayed in the System Editor.
The location and size are displayed in the status bar.
- Rotating an RTC ~Select the RTC, then click the middle mouse button to flip the component horizontally. Hold shift while clicking the middle mouse button to flip the component vertically.
- Removing an RTC from the System Editor ~ To delete an RTC from the editor, select it and click the Delete button, or right-click on it and select Delete from the context menu. This will not have any effect on the running system.
-Moving port connection lines ~To move a line connecting two ports, select the line and use the handles to move it around. Vertical lines can be moved side-to-side, while horizontal lines can be moved up and down.
