public boolean hasExternalInput()
Device
Returns false if the device is deterministic from the data & time points of view, i.e. if its output production only depend on the explicit input history (input slots) and device's initial configuration. This is the case of most of the processing devices.
Return trues if output values do not only depend on the values of input slots, or if output production takes undefined time. Examples of devices with external input are input peripherals and asynchronous devices.
This method is used by the reactive machine to determine if this device is triggered by its input slots, or if it must be triggered continuously (i.e. each tick). This method can also be used by the editor for the device's graphical representation.

public boolean isOpenable()
Device
This method returns false if the device is not openable because it is not properly configured (e.g. important input slots are not connected). Reactive machines ignore devices that are not openable.
Use this method if you want some pre-conditions to be verified before the execution of your device, inside init() and update() methods.
In the default method provided in DeviceUtilities, isOpenable() returns false if one or several obligatory input slots are not valid (see In.isValid()). You may add your own pre-conditions to this method.
Example :
public boolean isOpenable() {
if (DeviceUtilities.defaultIsOpenable(this)) { // Verify default pre-conditions
if (...) // Put additional pre-conditions here
return true;
}
return false;
}

public Processor open(OpenContext context)
Device
Some devices may need to perform some more or less heavy initialization (such as allocating resources or opening a stream) before being able to process or produce data. This is the case for most input devices, and some I/O and output devices. All these initializations must be done in the open() method.
Because these initializations are subject to fail, open() may return null even if isOpenable() returns true. In all cases, returning a non-null Processor means that the device is now able to process or produce data.
RE-OPENING A DEVICE:
Devices always stay open during reconfiguration, in order to avoid unnecessary deallocation and reallocation of resources. However, some devices will need to be re-open before re-starting the configuration. So open() is always called on all devices before re-starting.
If open() is called on a device that is already open, it may have no effect (and the current Processor is returned), or the device may be re-open if something has changed in its configuration.
Using a Processor as a return value allows the use of different processors, each adapted to a specific device configuration.
