Name and Pin Number Operations 27
determined by the vertical position of the line that was clicked on. This
feature works only with signal or device names, not with pin numbers.
Auto name generation—If the key is held down while a signal,
device, or pin is selected, a new name is generated automatically for
this item. The new name will be the same as the last one entered,
except that the numeric part of the name will have been incremented. If
the previously-entered name did not have a numeric part, then a “1”
digit will be appended to it. If the key is pressed at the same
time, the number will be decremented instead of incremented.
Sequential Naming
The above two features can be used in combination to perform easy naming
of sequential signals. The normal symbol standard in LogicWorks is to
position the highest numbers at the top, so you can either:
Number the topmost line in the group (e.g., D7) using the normal
naming technique, described above. Then hold down the , ,
and keys while clicking on successive lower-numbered lines.
Or:
Number the bottom-most line in the group (e.g., D0) using the normal
naming technique, described above. Then hold down the and
keys while clicking on successive higher-numbered lines.
Note that when you select each successive line, the new name appears;
however, it is necessary to click again (or press ) to make the name
permanent.
