For automation interface information about a Processor, see Processor (automation interface).

A Processor is a feature on a Board in the System Architecture Diagram, for example, A Pentium II processor.

You can create a Processor through the context menu of a Board Type, and through the Processor tab of a Board Type's Property Pages.

Note that you cannot link a Processor directly to a Board. A Board uses the Processors that are owned by a linked Board Type.
