When selected, the Item is highlighted and the entry appears in the dialog box. Initially, the ports of the Item have No in the <b class="uiTerm">Delimiter</b> column. You must change the value of the <b class="uiTerm">Delimiter</b> column for at least one of the ports to Yes in order for the Item to become a delimiter.

      <p class="para_division">You can remove <b class="uiTerm">Delimiter Items</b> by designating each of the ports of the Item to not be delimiters (<b class="uiTerm">Delimiter</b> column displays No).

If the value of the characteristic is 0, the <b class="uiTerm">Delimiter</b> column entry shows No.
