In the GRAVITY system, every path created in a project must end with an output-type operator. The END OF PATH operator allows you to end the data bus without performing any additional operations.
The END OF PATH operator has two main uses:
- It ends data processing within a given branch of the GRAVITY project without performing any operations (every project path must include an output-type operator to be complete).
- It collects input stream data for use by operators such as
INPUT OTHER OBJECT,
INPUT OTHER PROJECT,
OTHER PROJECT CALL and
STANDARDIZATION.
As a result, the END OF PATH operator allows you to both correctly end the processing path and prepare data for further use in other parts of the project or in other projects.
Example of a GRAVITY project using the END OF PATH operator:
