To create a medium definition

To create a new medium definition, choose the option NEW LOCAL MEDIUM DEFINITION in the menu ARCHITECTURE of the principal window, this will open a window for text edition in order to input a name to this new medium definition. This will open a definition window in which you may modify the type of the medium (SAM Point to Point, SAM Multipoint, RAM) and the communication durations list of the medium.

In the durations list window, you specify the type name and its duration, which is an integer, separated by a ``='' (e.g. ``int = 1''); one duration per line. Each line specifies the duration required to transfer one element of this type (e.g. an array of four integers will take 4*1).
