IPO Panel Overview

Overview

The Action Panel displays the IPO (Input → Processing → Output) details for each unit in a flow diagram. Every unit follows this fundamental concept:
  • Input: Receives data or signals from a user, another system, or a device.
  • Processing: Applies logic, calculations, or transformations to the input.
  • Output: Returns the processed result.
