<h1>Adding StringIOs</h1>
<p>To create a StringIO, click the "Add..." button on the <a href=
"StringIOTable.shtml">StringIO Table</a>. This will open a new pane with space to enter
a System Name and User Name for the new StringIO, and a "Create" button at the
bottom.</p>
<img src="images/StringIOAddEdit.png" width="594" height="162" alt="add stringIO dialog">
<p>You must enter a unique System Name. System Names for internal StringIOs have no set
pattern. You can call them whatever you want. System-specific StringIOs may
have a pattern specific to that system.</p>
<p>The User Name is optional, unless you check "Automatically generate System Name", and if
you enter one it has to be unique in your JMRI setup. See the "<a href=
"../../../../html/doc/Technical/Names.shtml">Names</a>" Help page for more information.</p>
<h2>Creating a Number of StringIOs</h2>
<p>It is also possible to create a number of StringIOs in one go.<br>
Checking the "Add a sequential range" box will enable the "Number of items" field. Set the
number of StringIOs that you wish to add. Clicking [Create] will create a number of
sequentially numbered StringIOs.<br>
If a User Name has been entered, a number will be added to the end of that name (starting
with the second item) to keep each StringIO User Name unique.</p>
