Add a Processor Connection

To connect two individual processors, click the orange circle in a processor and drag the connection to the green circle of the other processor. You will need to select the type of connection to add:

  • Events (individual data source): The receiving processor reacts to each individual data value immediately.
  • Values (combined data sources): The function processor waits for values from all of the combined data sources before reacting.

If you receive a red error icon on one of the connected processors, hover over the connection error to view the error message.

Note: Some function processors require multiple inputs. Each of these is represented by an input processor and the corresponding connection.
