40 Chapter 3—Advanced Schematic Editing

Note that the “..” format implies that bussed signal names cannot

contain periods.

 The signals specified will always appear in the order given in this list

from top to bottom in standard orientation. Specifying numbered

signals from lowest numbered to highest is a good practice, as in the

first example above, since this matches the standard library symbols.

 There is no fixed limit on the number of signals in a bus, but it is a

good practice to divide busses up by function (that is, address, data,

control, etc.) for ease of editing.

 Any combination of randomly–named signals can be included in the

list, as in the following examples:

D0..15 AS

UDS

LDS

CLK FC0..3 MEMOP BRQ0..2

Once the list has been entered, click on the OK button or press the

key. A flickering image of the breakout will now follow your mouse move-

ments and can be placed and connected just like any other type of device.

Editing Breakout Pins

The signal name notation that appears on a breakout pin is actually a pin

attribute. It can therefore be edited by the usual attribute editing mecha-

nisms—that is, either:

 Select the pin and choose the Get Info command in the Schematic

menu, then click the Attributes button;

or:

 Click the text cursor directly in the text on the schematic, as illustrated:

 Type the desired new name.
