Graphical Block Map

Graphical Block Map

The Graphical Block Map can be accessed by either:

  • Clicking Block Map in the Module Index, and selecting the block range of interest under the Graphical Block Map heading.
  • Right-clicking on a block, and selecting Go To Block Map. This will automatically take you to the Graphical Block Map Index for the selected Module.
  • In the Watch Window, right-clicking on an item in the Block List and selecting Go To Block Map.


The Graphical Block Map is a graphical overview of block usage, showing configuration aspects and issues at a glance. The blocks are presented as a color-coded table indicating whether each block is used, tagged, has a source, and other similar information. Every block in the Graphical Block Map is linked to its Block Use Index, which lists each place it is referenced in your INFI 90 system.

The Graphical Block Map allows you to see where blocks are available for insertion of a large function code.
