to the solution by encapsulating the details, mini-

making the programs easier to read and understand.
Application engineering ahead of time

Circuits are host-station-independent program
modules making it possible to develop control
solutions ahead of time, before the host hardware
has been fully specified or built. Consequently,
Circuits decouple hardware engineering from
software engineering, allowing each discipline to
progress independently. Type Circuits and Circuits
are developed and maintained in the same way as
any other AMPL programs. When finished, you store
the (Type) Circuit, appearing as another AMPL
element, in the appropriate library for later use.
To use a (Type) Circuit, recall it from the library, insert
it into your scheme and connect it to the surrounding
world, just as you would any standard AMPL element.
