    Create a profile for latency characteristics.

    profile = systemcomposer.profile.Profile.createProfile("LatencyProfileB");
    
    connLatency = profile.addStereotype("ConnectorLatency",AppliesTo="Connector");
    connLatency.addProperty("secure",Type="boolean");
    connLatency.addProperty("linkDistance",Type="double");
    
    nodeLatency = profile.addStereotype("NodeLatency",AppliesTo="Component");
    nodeLatency.addProperty("resources",Type="double",DefaultValue="1");
    
    portLatency = profile.addStereotype("PortLatency",AppliesTo="Port");
    portLatency.addProperty("queueDepth",Type="double");
    portLatency.addProperty("dummy",Type="int32");

    Get the stereotype ConnectorLatency in the profile.

    stereotype = getStereotype(profile,"ConnectorLatency")
    stereotype = 
      Stereotype with properties:
    
                        Name: 'ConnectorLatency'
                 Description: ''
                      Parent: [0x0 systemcomposer.profile.Stereotype]
                   AppliesTo: 'Connector'
                    Abstract: 0
                        Icon: ''
        ComponentHeaderColor: [210 210 210]
          ConnectorLineColor: [168 168 168]
          ConnectorLineStyle: 'Default'
          FullyQualifiedName: 'LatencyProfileB.ConnectorLatency'
                     Profile: [1x1 systemcomposer.profile.Profile]
             OwnedProperties: [1x2 systemcomposer.profile.Property]
                  Properties: [1x2 systemcomposer.profile.Property]
    
    

    Close the profile to rerun this example.

    profile.close(true)

    Definitions

    TermDefinitionApplicationMore Information
    stereotype

    Stereotypes provide a mechanism to extend the core language elements and add domain-specific metadata.

    Apply stereotypes to core element types. An element can have multiple stereotypes. Stereotypes allow you to style different elements. Stereotypes provide elements with a common set of properties, such as mass, cost, and power.

    property

    A property is a field in a stereotype. You can specify property values for each element to which the stereotype is applied.

    Use properties to store quantitative characteristics, such as weight or speed, that are associated with a model element. Properties can also be descriptive or represent a status. You can view and edit the properties of each element in the architecture model using the Property Inspector. For more information, see Use Property Inspector in System Composer.

    profile

    A profile is a package of stereotypes.

    You can use profiles to create a domain of specialized element types. Author profiles and apply profiles to a model using the Profile Editor. You can store stereotypes for a project in one or several profiles. When you save profiles, they are stored in XML files.
