Interface Objects

Glossary Item Box

Description

Interface objects are provided as a means of accessing manual connections.  The interface object name identifies an access function that will create and connect a manual connection of the interface object's specified type, and return a reference.  This allows CDL circuitry to be called from any arbitrary application thread.  In particular, they are used by GUI threads in order to access application circuitry.  Information entered at the GUI by a user typically needs to be passed to the application (input) for control purposes, and this is generally achieved through the use of interface objects.
