What is the difference b/w "Bus Editor" and "Bus-creator" in simulink?

* can anyone tell me the difference b/w "Bus Editor" and "Bus-creator"?

basically i want to create a bus with some set of signals and send those to output port after processing. as per my knowledge, i can do this two way : a) create a bus using bus editor and develop a simulink model for processing b) otherwise develop a simulink model and drag "bus creator" block which creates a bus and process with that*

You are little bit confused.

Bus Creator is the simulink block which takes many input signals and generate bus as output.

Bus Editor is the GUI utility used to define the Bus objects and their property. Bus objects are simulink objects (just like variables and parameters which are used to set bus property from base workspace.

In your case, drag a bus block from library. Double click on it and set the number of signals and signal names in dialog box.

But, If you don't want to use the settings from dialog box, check on "Specify properties via bus object", enter the name of bus object and click on "edit" button to open and configure a bus object. This object will appear at matlab's base workspace as "Simulink.Bus" object. You can also create & configure this bus object programmically without bus editor.

hey, thaks a lot for your answer.

but my confusion was, you have bus editor to create bus as well as set those signal properties and you have a bus creator block also to create bus. so what is the use of "bus creator" block when you have a bus editor which can do the same job?

i followed as you said [ "check on "Specify properties via bus object", enter the name of bus object and click on "edit" button to open and configure a bus object." ], but the bus name was not in base workspace of bus editor when i clicked on edit button. do i need to "Add Bus" to the workspace with the same name what i have given in the dialog box ?

Again thanks to you. Those links was really helpful for me and i really understood about bus editor and bus creator.
