 ==== How Many Inputs and Outputs? ====
-You should design your block as an extension of ''Blockio''. Choose the template parameters so that you get the desired number of input and output signals together with their types.
+You should design your block as an extension of ''Blockio''. Choose the template parameters so that you get the desired number of input and output signals together with their types. If signals carry different types, you have will have to define the necessary inputs and outputs as fields of your new block class.
-For all other cases your block will have to define the necessary inputs and outputs as fields of your new block class.
 As a example we take a look at a new block
 <code cpp>
 template < typename T = double >  // make it available for many types
-class MyBlock : public Blockio<1,2,T,T> {
+class MyBlock : public Blockio<1,2,T,T> {  // has 1 input, 2 outputs
  public:
   MyBlock() { ... }   // constructor
