There are two ways to determine the types of data entering and exiting blocks:
• Hover the pointer over a connector: the signal value and data type are displayed in a pop-up.
• Activate View > Data Types and de-activate View > Presentation Mode. Connectors are colored to indicate data type. The following table lists all the data types and their corresponding connector colors.
