4.3.1 Finding Assigned Signal Locations with the Ball Diagram Tab
For some signals, proximity to other devices may be an issue because of critical routing. Use the ball
diagram tab to see where assigned signals are located on the actual package.
Hovering the mouse over a ball produces a pop up list that shows all signals that are capable of being
connected to that ball. The actual assigned signal is bolded, as shown in Figure 4-10. Note that the balls
are color coded to show whether they are not muxed, available, in use, or conflicted.
