Theyconsist of input data sets and processes to be applied to the data sets. Modules acceptdata on their input ports, modify the data, and pass it along through the output ports.The modules link together in an infinite number of ways to form a pipeline that passesthe processed data from one module to the next. The final output from the network isusually a graphical representation of the data. This architecture is commonly called a"data flow" model.Modules have inputs, outputs, andproperties. The inputs and outputsare the data types described in theData Types page. Modules aredisplayed in the NetworkManager. The properties of aselected module appear in theProperty Manager.
