connector or bus breakout which is used for schematic notation
purposes.
A pin is a connection point on a device. A pin is not an independent
entity, since it only exists as part of a device and cannot be created or
deleted separately. However, pins can have attributes, pin numbers,
and other parameters that may be different from pin to pin on the same
device. The Get Info command can be used on a selected pin to view
and set pin parameters. A bus pin is a special type of pin that represents
an arbitrary number of internal pins. The internal pins are not visible on
the schematic but can still have the same logical properties as other
pins.
A signal is a conductive path between device pins. Signal connections
can be made visually by drawing lines between device pins, or
logically by name or bus connection.
A text object is used to place a title block or other notation on the
diagram. Text can be typed and edited directly within LogicWorks, or
can be created externally and pasted onto the diagram from the
Clipboard. Text objects are not associated with any other object and are
not accessible through net or component lists. The attribute facilities
should be used to associate text with specific devices or signals.
A picture object is used to place a border, logo, or mechanical drawing
on the diagram. Picture objects can be created externally and pasted
onto the diagram from the Clipboard or created using the device
symbol editor. Once placed, a picture object becomes a single element
that can be moved, duplicated, and deleted, but it cannot be edited
within LogicWorks.
