176 Chapter 8—Device Symbol Editing
Creating Special-Purpose Symbols
Assigning a Primitive Type
NOTE: The Primitive type settings should only be used with a clear understanding
of their functions. Primitive types are intended primarily for creating
pseudo-devices (such as power and ground connectors) and for use with
the LogicWorks simulator. See Appendix A— Primitive Device Pin
Summary on page 233.
The primitive type of a part allows LogicWorks to recognize a number of
special device types such as pseudo-devices and simulation primitives used
by the LogicWorks simulator.
To select the primitive type choose the Subcircuit and Part Type command
in the Options menu. Then select the “Primitive” radio button. This will
cause a pop-up menu to be displayed below it. The pop-up menu will show
the primitive type currently selected. Clicking on the pop-up menu will
display the other options available. The following manual sections
describe the usage of some of these settings. See Appendix B— Device
Pin Types on page 239 for a complete list of primitive types.
Creating Primitive Devices for use with the LogicWorks
Simulator
Device symbols for use as simulation primitives with the LogicWorks Sim-
ulator must have very specific primitive type and pin type settings and pin
orders. Refer to the LogicWorks Simulator Reference Manual for com-
plete information.
