Order Within a Group
For the purposes of displaying a hexadecimal value for a group, the order
of signals within the group is important. When a group is created, the fol-
lowing rules are used to establish the order:
 If the signal name has a numeric part (e.g., D12 or WRDAT4X), then
the numeric part is used to sort the signals. The lowest–numbered
signal will be the least significant bit of the group value. Any
unnumbered signals will be in the most significant bit positions.
 Otherwise, the signal’s existing position is used—i.e., traces that
appeared higher in the Timing window will be more significant.
The order of signals within a group can be changed using the Get Info com-
mand on a group trace. This is displayed by selecting the Get Info... com-
mand in the Timing pop–up menu or by double–clicking on the label.
Entering a Group Name
When a group is first created, a group name is automatically generated
from the names of the enclosed signals. This name can be edited using the
Get Info command in the Timing pop–up menu.
NOTE: The group name is lost when an Ungroup operation is performed.
