Output variable form for device terminals
This form can only be specified for trace expressions. The
primary difference between this and the basic form is that
the terminal symbol appears before the net or device name
specification (whereas the basic form treats this as the pin
name within the pin id).
<output>[terminal]*[AC suffix](<name>[,name])
Table 6 on page 13-358
summarizes the valid output
formats. Table 7 on page 13-360
provides examples of
equivalent output variables. Note that some of the output
variable formats are unique to trace expressions.
