Schematic Menu Commands 195
The following information and options are available:
Pseudo-Device Pin Info Box
If a pseudo-device pin is selected, the Get Info command displays the sig-
nal info box for the attached signal.
Text Info Box
If a text object is selected, the Get Info command displays the following
box:
Pin Number This is the physical pin number corresponding to this device
pin. This can be empty if desired.
Visible This checkbox determines whether the pin number is
displayed on the schematic. For some devices, such as
discrete components, it may be desirable to have a pin
number associated with the pin for netlist purposes without
displaying it on the diagram.
Pin Type This information item gives the function and visible status
of the pin.
Pin Ordinal Number This number is the pin’s ordinal position in the device’s pin
list (as viewed in the DevEditor). This number can be
important in some netlist formats where pin order is critical.
Associated internal
signal
For subcircuit devices, this item shows the name of the
signal attached to the associated port connector in the
internal circuit. For other devices, this will be “None”.
Attributes... This button displays the general Attributes dialog for the
selected pin.
Next Pin / Prev Pin These buttons allow you to move to the next or previous pin
(by ordinal number) on the same device, without having to
return to the schematic and select the pin.
