Hi Chuck, To get multiport ordering, you would need to build Ptolemy II from CVS, see http://chess.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptexternal
The multiport visualization work is not present in 5.0.1. In principle, we are working on an upcoming Ptolemy II 6.0 release. The release will feature the codegen work using templates, the rendezvous domain and Viptos. I'm hoping to have something shippable in June. I've been waiting until the codegen stabilizes before deciding on a release schedule. Codegen will stabilize on May 19, when one of our primary codegen developers (Jackie) finishes up. Kepler is also shipping a release at some point. Kepler is using the Ptolemy II CVS head, so many of the changes between 5.0.1 and now will be in Kepler. The QueueOutsideMIC.xml model works for me in the CVS devel version but fails under 5.0.1 _Christopher -------- Hi Hackers, At the end of his post on 23 Feb 06, responding to Erwin De Ley, Prof. Lee writes: "The latest version does visually indicate channel ordering at a multiport." I'm not seeing how to get this to work - I'm using Pt 5.0.1. The plotter in the demo model "HysteresisWithRandomDelay.xml" has multiple relations into its multiport; hovering over the port graphic, for example, doesn't seem to indicate anything. I'm trying to understand more of how things get wired on the fly when using the MultiInstanceComposite. The enclosed model gives an error "Attempt to link a bus relation to a single port". I'm finding this quite hard to diagnose. Another error down in the FSM is currently suppressed ("output port q_out must be connected to a multi- port..."). I am starting to poke around in the MIC (and related) source, and slowly making my way through more of the manual, but I was wondering if anyone has any immediate advice on this one.
